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.

The $600 million plan to renovate KeyArena seeks to open for the 2020 NHL season, a timeline even the city calls “very aggressive.” Will neighborhood needs get overlooked?
A lot of ugly permeated the Seahawks’ 12-9 win over the 49ers, but the last two possessions, carried mostly by the legs of Russell Wilson, offered a glimmer.
Besides a 77-yard punt return that tied the NCAA career record, Dante Pettis caught three other touchdowns and threw a 36-yard pass completion. What else you got, coach Pete?
CB Richard Sherman returned to practice from hamstring soreness and seems ready to go in home opener Sunday; CB Jeremy Lane learned his ejection was unworthy of a fine.
The Huskies have another lollipop Saturday in Fresno State, which has the weirdest non-conference schedule. Last week, it played Alabama. The week before: Incarnate Word.
Rookie CB Shaquill Griffin had a substantial debut in the pressure-cooker of Lambeau Field/Aaron Rodgers. His cool comes in part from knowing how to deal with big storms.
After Mayor Ed Murray’s scandal-driven resignation Tuesday, it is reasonable to ask, given its history here, why the NBA would want to come back to a building owned by this city.
Lost in the heaping of lamentations upon the offensive line was the absence of any influence on the Green Bay game by TE Jimmy Graham. Pete Carroll took public notice Monday.
