  1. I am more than a little surprised and disappointed at the intensity of the dump EJ movement among Bills fans. He showed me enough in the Panthers and Ravens games last year to make me believe that he has the raw material to be a winning QB. I think he can play at a Joe Flacco - Steve McNair level. That said I have been disappointed about the lack of quality back ups on our roster for many years. I applaud the signing of Orton and only wish that it had come sooner. Not because I think EJ is a bust but because since the Flutie/Johnson years this team has bottomed out after their starter went down. If EJ is injury prone we need a viable back up. If EJ is unschooled he needs a credible mentor. If EJ is a bust we need a credible alternative. If Ralph were alive we never would have signed Orton. He was always content to let the fan base twist in the wind if the starter of the day got hurt or didn't meet expectations. I see Orton as insurance to buy time for the front office regime should EJ not look like he's ready on schedule.

  2. 35 years with United Airlines. I turned 55 and 3 weeks later they filed CH 11. Retired in 2003, they dumped our pensions into PBGC in 2004 :sick: , I had no idea what PBGC was, or that United could do such a thing when I decided to retire. Same thing happened to many WNY'er's in the Steel & Auto industries. So they go thru "Bankruptcy," emerge as the "new" United Airlines and suddenly have Billions to spend on new 787's & A-350's. :censored: WTF!!! I was blessed, found another job (56 years old) and have been there 9.5 so far. Hopefully I'll try to really retire in the next year or two with a small State Pension-unless they go broke too!.

    so were you screwed out of your pension? Sorry I don't know what PBGC means
