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.

Unknown writer get 15 secs of notice before becoming unknown again. Following in the footsteps of Renne Richards (tennis player)?

Let me know when MoDo becomes a guy.

On the bright side, there’ll be one less d**k at the L.A. Times.

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

Here is his new column photo:

“No, I had to assure him, I still love soccer. I will continue to watch it. I hope to continue to coach it.”

Soccer fan. Enough said.

“It perhaps?”

No. That would denigrate someone as less than human and we’re above that here.

Seems to me, it takes an amazing degree of self-loathing to do this.

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

He's 40-ish. He's making the change just in time for "The Change"...

S/he should get a job with ESPN. Hopefully then, ESPN will has a “female” sports reporter who knows something about sports!

When I told my boss Randy Harvey, he leaned back in his chair, looked through his office window to scan the newsroom and mused, "Well, no one can ever say we don't have diversity on this staff."

Ummmmm, diversity? How many conservatives work that newsroom? I'll bet the number doesn't even begin to correspond to the number living in the community...not even close.

How can anyone in the medical/mental health field come to the conclusion that a guy wanting to have his schlong cut off is of sound mind? I will never understand this.

The sad thing is he thinks this will fix his mental anguish...
It is so sad in this country we allow people to be butchered by doctors who don’t know where to draw the line.

God does NOT make mistakes. Sorry. It is NOT “natural”. It is transgressive, and has to do with ODD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

It is also passive-aggressive mixed in with ODD.
