Never having met a metaphor he could not twist beyond recognition, Art has been illuminating, agitating, amusing and annoying Puget Sound sports readers for a long time. Along with Steve Rudman, he co-founded Sports Press Northwest because it didnt seem right that the Google monster should aggregate daily journalism into oblivion without at least a flesh wound from somebody. Thiel and Rudman labored under the Seattle Post-Intelligencer globe until the print edition died an undeserved death in March, 2009. Art continued on at its online successor seattlepi.com while working on SPNWs creation. His radio commentaries can be heard Friday and Saturday mornings and Friday afternoon on KPLU-FM 88.9. In 2003 he wrote the definitive book about the Seattle Mariners, Out of Left Field, which became a regional bestseller. In 2009, along with Rudman and KJR 950 afternoon host Mike Gastineau, Thiel authored The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists, a cross between historylink.org and Mad Magazine that has become mandatory reading for any sports fan who has an indoor bathroom. A graduate of Pacific Lutheran University as well as two dead papers and a live one, the News Tribune of Tacoma, he has become a fan of entrepreneurial online journalism because it allows him to continue a lifelong passion to take the English language to places it rarely visits willingly, and does not involve the cleaning of kennels or stables.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to “get past” the protest controversy. Michael Bennett and fellow players handed him a way forward in August. Chance missed.
Even though both played to the end of the 16-10 win over the Rams Sunday, DE Michael Bennett and LG Luke Joeckel are most happy to see the bye week. Bennett injured the plantar fascia in his right foot in the game, and Joeckel will have arthroscopic surgery Thursday to help with pain in his
Calling 7:45 p.m. starts “painful,” Huskies coach Chris Petersen induced a backlash from ESPN, which runs college football a bit like a famous film family ran New York.
Two improbable plays were required to get the Seahawks past the improving Rams Sunday. The Seahawks had just the improbable players for the tasks.
