and its not like they actually need the $125 million set they are building for SportsCenter.

they can probably write off most of that. this isnt about cashflow, its about meeting a profit margin. easiest way to do that is an immediate reduction in payroll.

i agree they would be better off firing one of the overpaid "talent" instead of 40 tech guys.

What's sad is those 400 staffers probably make less than Stephen A Smith + Doris Burke.

I don't know their salaries but I remember a few years ago reading Jim Nantz' divorce problems in the paper and he made $7M a year!
