Where is the Obama getting B word slapped by Iran thread?

Given the title I thought this thread would be about the B word slapping Iran is given the Obama administration.

If the Sabres were a turd, last night would have been the dingleberry. Yeah, they won... But still the dingleberry.
Official Urban Dictionary definition:
"dingleberry
A delinquent partial turd which grasps anal shrubery causing brownish crust to accumulate in ones boxers.
My wife tells me that I need to wipe my ass better because my dingleberries are making my underware (sic) a nasty mess, however I like the idea of her down in the basement doing laundry and cleaning up my foul nasty underware (sic)."
I don't get it.

I'm not offended by the write ins, but, if judges aren't voted in that leaves their appointment up to???
I think John Roberts because he is like the CEO of courts.

They can start by only allowing players from mixed races, so a player with ancestors from Europe (white), Asia (oriental), Africa (black), Central America (hispanic), and North America (redskin) would be a gold mine.
Golf tried that and it went great for a while but then the hookers ruined it.

You have access to privacy screens while you fill out your ballot. There's an ample opportunity to snap photos then. Plus the guy who did this is on twitter and is acting as if he submitted the ballot, so I don't think there's any reason to think he didn't.
Also, even if there weren't privacy screens, it's perfectly legal to take a picture of your ballot just like it's perfectly legal to write in whomever you want.
Ok. Is it also possible to take a picture of a ballot and not cast it?

Electing judges is a good thing. Voting for one of them just validates the back room deals made to have them each run on both tickets. That's what's really a joke.
If you're saying that judges should be appointed, who should appoint them? Elected officials? Who are influenced by special interest groups? Well, that's what we've already got.

I also don't get the outrage over a guy wasting a ballot for the sake of a joke. Most people don't even vote, and most of those who do are seriously uninformed. If one guy wasting his vote is enough to get someone riled up, I'd have to image that same person probably can't sleep at night knowing how few people are truly actively participating in the process.
How do all these geniuses know this ballot was actually cast? Wouldn't it be in the machine? The guy probably took a picture of it as a joke and either didn't vote at all or went up and asked for a new blank.

Tim Graham got his panties in a bunch over this on twitter
Some panties bunch easily.

excellent point, i did forget about the trade deadline passing. these types of things happen all the time in baseball, but football is different
I think because there are so many fewer games. Almost none of the teams are out of playoff contention so the waiver wire trades get blocked.
In baseball bad teams don't care because they are out of it already. In football a 2 game lead is huge so almost every team feels they are in it for at least a few weeks after the initial trade deadline The Bears would have definitely put in a waiver claim blocking Flynn. I don't know if GB has some backup guard or LB that the Bills could have used but I'd have to think getting a 2014 draft pick through waivers is almost impossible.
-
already plenty of speculation around twitter that flynn will end up in GB. too bad we released him, we could have gotten a little something for him.
I agree but it would have been tough. With the trade deadline passed, both parts of the trade would have to clear waivers. The Bears or Lions may have blocked the move forcing the Bills to take him back. Also it would have had to be player for player. There is no way a draft pick, even a 7th rounder from a good team, would clear waivers.
-
I always thought a WR's job was to get open and provide an outlet for his QB, now you're saying SJ shouldn't have done that?
In a vacuum, yes. But we aren't in a vacuum. We had a rook QB with a 1 read look. His read was Graham, Graham was open and SJ super duper feet fake left Graham accidentally double covered. Stevie has to know the situation and help the team.
-
SJ was just running his route as he does. Has to try to get open, has to figure db will go with him. There is no "hot" read at the 1 yard line. You can't break a route off less than that. It was man to man coverage and you have to be willing to know the blitz is coming and you'll get hit. By trying to not get hit, Tuel lost the game.
Shouldn't Stevie, as a vet, know this and drag his guy with him to create space for Graham? Of course he should but he super duper feet faked us right out of a win.
-
Soooooo because he's not the primary on the play he should make zero attempt to get open? ummmmm wow. I commented yesterday in the stands as to how stupid Bills fans have gotten, cheering when the offense is running a play, but this one takes the cake. unreal.
It is a team game. He knows his team was a bit hampered by having an inexperienced rook who could only make one read in that situation. The rookie looked at his first read; saw Graham had beaten his man and threw to the right spot. Imagine Tuel's surprise when the guy covering Stevie was standing there looking dumbfounded. If Stevie were a rookie too I could have him share blame with Tuel but he should be able to think at the next level with his experience.
The real telltale part is Stevie's reaction. Does he looked surprised that Tuel didn't throw him the ball? No. He looks angry but he also looks like he knew the read was to Graham; thus no surprise.
-
Pretty much nailed it. I mean noone expects Tuel to go thru 5 progressions but Johnson was wide open with his hand up about 10ft away from Tuel. Throw him the freakin ball. A high school QB 8 out of 10 times would be able to make that read. Tuel decided before the play began he was going to Graham on that play. Rookie QB or not, that is just inexcusable.
If Stevie decided to forego the super duper feet fake, would Graham have been open? Yes. Would we have won? Yes.
Blame the rookie if it is fashionable, but reality sees through a different pair of glasses.
-
I understand what you are writing but it could not be more wrong. Every player has a job and needs to do his own job. It was Johnson's job to get open, he did it. The way to help his QB was to do his job not try to guess what his QB was thinking. Poor teams screw up when players try to do too much and start thinking instead of preforming. Football is a game of discipline. A receiver helps a QB best by getting open in a spot where the QB can get him the ball and then catching it when it gets there.
We mostly agree but where we disagree is about what Stevie's job was on that play.
He is a vet. He knows the first read is to Graham. It may be a bad play call but that is the play. Stevie knows that Tuel can only make one read. As such, his job becomes to help on the play and drag the DB with him, away from where Graham will be.
So in a hardheaded effort to get HIMSELF open, he left Graham accidentally double covered. Result: we lose. His super duper feet fake cost us the game.
-
guys, this game was one play, ONE GIGANTIC PLAY
Right you are sir and several things could have changed that play. Stevie's hardheadedness was the last straw on the camel's back but it was one that could have been avoided.
-
It's Stevie's fault because he got wide open?
Please tell me you're being sarcastic.
He was showing off his skills at the goal line. Maybe he SHOULD have been the first read but he was not. He made his super duper feet fake anyway and this left his defender standing right where the ball was supposed to go. The rest is history.

It was great to see the Bills with an undrafted rookie QB, a 10-3 lead and on the doorstep of 17-3 against an 8-0 team. I think the team is turning it around and will be able to put games like this away soon; probably starting next year. If EJ was in there we probably win, but that doesn't mean this loss lands at Tuel's feet. He is raw and with limited experience and did not receive the required support from his team to make up for that.
You can blame the refs, and I would agree about Goodwin's catch. You can blame dropped passes and I think there are some cases to be made.
The bottom line is it came down to one play. Instead of the Bils scoring a TD and going up 17-3; the Chiefs did and it was 10-10. When you look at that play you want to blame Tuel for throwing into coverage but the blame really has to go to Stevie. Stevie is a vet and knows Tuel is a rook and that in a pressure situation he will probably go with his first read. On that play the first read is to the guy coming across; I think Graham. You can say it was a bad play call and I might agree....you can say Tuel locked on Graham and I might agree but.....the fact is that was the call and Graham did his job. It was Tuel's first read and he made the throw....Graham had beaten his guy...Tuel makes the throw....10-10.
Why? Because Stevie, instead of being a team player and dragging his man with him, decide to do his super duper feet fake and leave the defender there holding his jock. Stevie stood alone in the middle of the end zone knowing Tuel would never make that read. The jockless defender ended up scoring the game changing TD because Stevie had fooled him into not moving. Stevie is obviously one of the best players on this team. I generally like his humor and that he wants to be with the Bills. I would have to imagine he has been frustrated by the lack of attention he is getting from this hodge podge of QBs and I think that is understandable, but to undermine Tuel and the team in an effort to show the world how great you are is not cool. Just run your route, clear the path and be happy when we win.
From a talent level Stevie's skills are unique but he has to know when to use them. That play was NOT the time and it hurt the team and undermined Tuel. I wouldn't exactly call it selfish but more hard headed. He has to be more flexible in his approach.

You don't perhaps think that mid-season is a tad early to start drafting threads for potential 7th round draft picks?
Not if his name is Octavius.
