    It's easy to discuss Daniel because he's a friend, and I know he would never get mad at me for anything I said on the air. Even if I made fun of him or disagreed with him. There are a handful of players I'd rather not give any air time to. No, I will not name them.

    Sure, folks have gotten upset. Never about jokes, oddly enough. Internally, it's hard to handle, because it shakes your confidence. It makes me wonder if I'm doing it wrong. I've handled it by focusing on the overwhelming majority of people who seem to like what I do. Externally, I've never handled it because these people have never sought me out specifically. They've tweeted thinly veiled stuff, or stuff I'm not tagged in, and posted on forums, but none of them have ever approached me. If they did, I'd be happy to talk about whatever it is.

    I really respect your answer here. That's just a cool approcah.
