While all talk of NBC comedies has been focused on “The Office” and its new lack of Michael Scott, many viewers are missing the pure comedy genius that is “Parks and Recreation.” The comedy, similar in style to the fake-documentary feel of “The Office,” started slow in its first handful of episodes, but has since found its stride and continually turns out more comedic punches than any show on television. The premise may sound dull — the inner-workings of a Parks and Recreation department in small-town Indiana and the lives of its workers. Wrong again. Amy Poehler leads her stellar castmates, including Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, Rob Lowe, Adam Scott and the deadpan god himself, Nick Offerman, in one of the kookiest, fun- niest shows television has ever seen. Last season, particularly episodes focused on the Harvest Festival and Li’l Sebastian, was a fantastic string of hilar- ity and this season promises even more of the same. Nick Offerman was unjustly snubbed by the Emmy Awards this year, so to find out why this is so wrong, and to help right that wrong in your own way, tune in on Thursday nights to “Parks and Recreation.” Quote of the day Weekly Poll Clearly, Thursday nights will be tough this season as “The Vampire Diaries” How often do you go onto and “Parks and Recreation” compete for viewers in the same time slot.

It’s worth noting that Ro- mo’s career passer rating of 95.5 is fourth best in league history; his 64.1 percent completion rate is eighth best. “His gift is his curse,” Parcells said Monday on ESPN. Romo cut way down on his mis- takes in 2009 and the Cowboys went 13-3, won the division and picked up his first playoff win. He broke a collarbone six games into a disappointing 2010 season, and has said his time on the sideline left him craving the competition. Jon Kitna did an admirable job filling in, sparking talk of what a great leader he was — and Romo wasn’t. But Romo took charge during the lockout, organizing workouts attended by more than 40 players. And the former gossip- rag cover boy disappointed single women everywhere by walking down the aisle this summer. Tight end Jason Witten broke into the league with Romo and remains a close friend. Nothing he saw Sunday night dimmed his opinion of Romo. “Obviously, it was a disap- pointing couple of plays, but that doesn’t define who he is,” Witten said. “We know what type of play- er he is, so we’ll get back on track. We have all the confidence in the world in him.” Witten said he has “no fil- ter” when talking to Romo, so he would tells his buddy if he thought the quarterback blew it. Witten described the emotion as “more of a disappointment than it is more anger, frustration toward him.” “I think that’s across the team,” he said. “That’s not just the tight end talking, or a teammate or a buddy. You go around this room there is a lot of confidence in him and what he does and what he creates for the team. Nobody is pointing the finger, and it’s not just saying the right thing. I think everybody in this room believes it.”As for Romo, he didn’t speak with local reporters Monday, but he did conduct a conference call with San Francisco reporters. He said he got home around 5:15 a.m. and was at team headquarters by 10 a.m. to start getting ready for the 49ers. “You have to get ready for the next one and we have to put that one behind us,” he said. “I have to come out and play my best game this week and make sure that what happened last week doesn’t happen again, and I’ll do that.” page 12 | ndsmcobserver.com The Observer u Sports Tuesday, September 13, 2011

While forward is a flashy, glo- rified position, central defense is an almost thankless and stat-less job. Maund has nevertheless en- joyed the position he has owned for the past three years at Notre Dame. “You can watch the game de- velop and see what’s going on [as a central defender],” Maund said. “I like having the ball and being comfortable. It’s kind of like a safety in football.” Maund is joined in the center of the pitch by Irish junior mid- fielder Dillon Powers, who joins Maund in a musical undertaking. Luck or Skill, consisting of Maund, Powers, Irish senior midfielder Michael Rose and Michigan State student Chris Burgess, is a hip-hop group that originated in Dallas and has mi- grated to the Midwest. They are currently working on their first mixtape, tentatively titled “Call it a Night.” Maund, a rapper in the group, counts Jay-Z and Kanye West among his influences along with old-school Motown music. “They are so into their music,” Maund said of the rap giants. “Some of the samples they use are really soulful.” Like Powers, Maund would like to extend his playing career into the professional realm af- ter Notre Dame, whether it be in America’s Major League Soccer or overseas in one of Europe’s many leagues. Wherever Maund plays, hope- fully they have an Olive Garden, so Maund does not need to disre- gard his pregame ritual. The Irish resume play Friday night when they welcome Michi- gan to Alumni Stadium.
