NRBR: Blazr's getting a new neighbor

The layoffs at ESPN are a non-story. They spent a TON of $$ this year to re-up existing agreements and snag some additional properties. Since the agreements were signed this year they have to be booked this year. That means a reduction in head count to balance the books and keep Disney (and, more importantly, Disney investors) happy. As I've moved forward in my career, by far the biggest eye-opener to me has been learning that the vast majority of downsizing efforts are dictated not by how well/poorly the company is doing but to balance the necessary accounting for a unique, seemingly unrelated transaction.
