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.

Today I leave for a few weeks' vacation, and when I return, I will come back in yet another incarnation.

Wonder if he’ll go the quick route, and visit the same restaurant as this guy in England :

Hope she doesn’t start being the beat reporter for the Dodgers.

AMEN! The sportsbabes at ESPN are the worst! The only ones worth a damn are Robin Roberts, Shelly Smith and Simpson (I forget her first name, she’s the sister of ex NHLer Craig Simpson). The rest are horrid.

I don’t get it either. A friend of mine is a nurse and says that some people are really screwed up because they are neither male or female, or they are male with many female hormones, and for them it is often a real option. Otherwise, I don’t get it and I never will.

It should be, because it’s hilarious. Can you imagine sharing the press box with “Christine?”

Now he (she) can date all those guys he (she) saw in various stages of undress in the locker room? I wonder how comfortable the real guys are going to be with this “self-proclaimed-wo-man” in there?

OK. So if she brings a guy to a baseball game...if he kisses her between the strikes, will she kiss him between the balls?

This isn’t the same as being gay - which is a perversion.

True transsexuality is a birth defect in the brain. There is a study online (http://www.symposion.com/ijt/ijtc0106.htm) that basically shows that men have a large hypothalamus, while women have a small hypothalamus - except in transgenders, where it’s reversed. IOW, part of the brain’s wiring is wrong.

This guy has a birth defect, nothing more, nothing less.

Is this the same disorder that causes people to get a dolphinoplasty.

God makes you the way you are, people should deal with it. This isn't the same as curing a disability, this is a mental disorder that can be dealt with. This Dr. Moreau garbage is ridiculous.

Well, I have a birth defect too.....I have to have sex as often as possible with as many women as possible. Could you please tell my wife that this is no perversion, that its just a birth defect....

Wow... what you are saying leads down a dangerous path.

If these transgendered perverts can claim God made them that way, then why can’t the queers?

So now we all will take a short break between bylines. "Mike Penner" is out, "Christine Daniels" soon will be taking its place.

It doesn't get any sicker than this.
He/she/it is likely a perfect fit at the LA Times, but would probably get a big promotion at the New York Times.

My brother once worked for Digital and some freak there went out and got a sex change operation. When he/she/it returned to work, my brother and the other employees were required to attend a "welcome party" (complete with cake and balloons) for the returning freak.

It’s not nice to fool with mother nature.

Did you even read my post? There is no dangerous path whatsoever.

Homosexuality is a perversion. Transgenderism (which isn't the same as homosexuality) is a BIRTH DEFECT. The two do not equal.

We are all perfectly accepting of a birth defect that results in a person being born with a deformed limb, or a disfigured face. Why is it so hard to imagine a person being born with part of their brain wired incorrectly?
