Believe it or not, I worked four summers in college as a sports writer covering baseball for a parks and rec department in Bayonne, N.J.
One of my first jobs was at the Boston Globe. I worked in the sports department six months a year. When I was ready to graduate, the sports editor gave me a job as a schoolboy sports writer.
When I used to live in Chicago - went to school there for four years and lived there for two years after - the whole time, I worked at this restaurant called DMK, and people would come in, and I would wait on their tables, and they would say, 'Oh my gosh, man. You look like the dude from 'Parks and Rec.' You look like Jean-Ralphio.'
I worked for the recreation and parks department for a year.
Having a father as a football and a baseball coach, I grew up around college baseball players, college football players, like, I just knew sports my whole life.
My paternal grandfather worked in the mill all his life. My father worked in the mill almost his whole life. I worked in the mill while I was going to college in the summers. And then, for one stretch, I quit school and worked one year.
I'm a huge fan of 'Parks and Rec.'
When I was a kid, my father brought home the autobiography of Sid Luckman, the great Chicago Bears quarterback - probably an extra copy from the sports department where he worked. It was the first sports biography I ever read.
I watch 'Parks and Rec.' It's set in a fictitious city in Indiana.
It's going to sound like brown-nosing, but I love 'Parks & Rec.'
Entertainment Weekly said that Parks and Rec is the smartest comedy on tv. Call me when it's the funniest.
I could never be a sports writer, unless my assignment was to write 'sports sports sports sports sports' for three pages.
As a kid I was fascinated with sports, and I loved sports more than anything else. The first books I read were about sports, like books about Baseball Joe, as one baseball hero was called.
I really bridled when Parks And Rec became popular and woodworking publications wanted me to do stuff with them.
The cast of 'Parks & Rec' is just a group of unbelievably nice, humble, down to earth, hilarious friends.
A role like I had on 'Parks and Rec,' to me, is very easy to understand, and that's something that I can do with my eyes closed.
A sports writer who covers baseball could go up to Tony La Russa and have a real baseball argument, and Tony would listen and it would seem reasonable.
