He seemed completely off balance and the material seemed awkward and the staging seemed obvious (the set-ups and segways didn’t feel natural). I had just read about the baseball/football thing and while it’s kind of funny, his delivery there didn’t do it justice (I guess) and seemed to me more of a poetic think-piece than a joke.
