I made a joke on-air yesterday that was inappropriate, and kind of a jerk move. I thought everybody got the joke, but apparently I was wrong

So from what I hear the Twitter police are at it again and this time we have married father Amin Elhassan, the ESPN NBA Insider, in the crosshairs. The premise of this Twitter takedown is that Amin was on the radio this week with Le Batard and mentioned something about getting a Twitter follow from Florida State porntress Mia Khalifa.
One thing led to another and Amin was joking about taking out Mia for dinner. And she heard the ‘joke’.
Hey @AminESPN, thanks for the offer, but I only go out to eat with my boyfriend 😉

Now, because we live in 2015 where everyone is so serious and can’t take a joke, Twitter got bent out of shape that a married father would dare say he might have to take out Mia for a steak. Of course the Twitter police pounced and called out Amin for possibly sliding into Mia’s DMs.
That led to the obligatory public apology to keep this from going any further. I hope all you Twitter police are happy. You’re dumbing down the media to where they won’t say anything fun because they’re worried a boss (wife) will get fired up and can them. This has to end now. We need to go back to learning how to take a joke.
Of course Amin’s not going to slide into Mia’s DMs and ask her out to dinner. The guy is married. He’s not dumb enough to think his wife wouldn’t hear about this radio bit. Of course people are going to tell her Amin is joking again.
Apology time!
My sense of humor crosses boundaries sometimes, but I gotta do a better job of staying on the right side of the “piece of shiitake” side

So, again, I apologize for my joke in poor taste and I will strive to do better job of staying on the right side of the line.

I also apologize to my family for mixing them up in all of this

For the record, I don't go to dinner with any woman other than my wife!!
