You see, Tamir was about to transform into a hulking demon.

Just a few more years, folks. HBO, Showtime, etc are slowly forcing the cable providers to go a-la carte. When that happens, you will see ESPN's revenue drop substantially as all the people who don't ever watch the station will drop it. Which will result in a direct loss of revenue.
