Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4657894, member: 71"] Why are the only possible outcomes good to great shape and the next Blockbuster? I imagine that there is a massive amount of ground between the two. For reasons beyond me ESPN sees nothing wrong with doing this every sc o often, go on a spending spree, listen to complaints from the board or shareholders and then start making massive cuts. I did read not long ago that Disney was looking into the possibility of spinning off ESPN. This could merely be a publicity ploy, it could be a move (advertising that they may sell ESPN) to soften the blow of the layoffs that were imminent. It could have been a legitimate idea. Regardless, in the very near term ESPN won't be able to throw around the money they were throwing around six, twelve, eighteen months ago. [/QUOTE]
