I know you're new to the stand-up/witty humor scene, so I'll offer you a bit of advice - scrap the "great players like Nate Robinson" line from your routine. That's just too much. Your comedy has to incorporate a bit more subtlety.

It wasn't until this past week (I went to Netherlands-Chile earlier in the week) that I appreciated DeJong beyond viewing him as a thuggish enforcer who goes out and breaks opposing players' legs and otherwise chips at the opposition by putting their bodies in jeopardy (see 2010 final).
