During my 23 years with The Times' sports department, I have held a wide variety of roles and titles. Tennis writer. Angels beat reporter. Olympics writer. Essayist. Sports media critic. NFL columnist. Recent keeper of the Morning Briefing flame.

Forty years? How old is he now? At this point, it doesn’t seem like it would be worth the trouble.

“It has taken more than 40 years, a million tears and hundreds of hours of soul-wrenching therapy for me to work up the courage to type those words.”

Why do you think that is? Could it be because you KNOW you are very sick, mentally and that statement is pretty much a confirmation?

‘It is a natural occurrence — unusual, no question, but natural.’

Dam, not even 9am and the silliest line of the day.

Bill Maher might be interested in dating her.

Some other pervert came along side him and told him it was ok.

I hope “Christine” is affected with a scorching case of PMS!

I think it can be safely said this is no longer the LA Times sports page of Jim Murray!

Very sorry to hear about his "tranny problem".

I want to offer "him" all the help and support I can.

Seems a tad radical just to get the scoop on interviews in WNBA locker rooms.

The most horrible part of the operation when will be when the remove the part of his brain that allows him to parallel park. They do that right before they snip his paycheck in half!

First he says “and in the end it wins.” The next paragraph he says “a no-win situation any way you look at it.” I think he is confused about a lot more than just who, or what he, or it, is.

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

James 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
