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.

Huskies coach said he looked at final sequence against Arizona “105 times” and still would have done it the way he did it. Good luck explaining to to parents of recruits.
Agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration surprised NFL teams, including the Seahawks Sunday, with inspections of team records regarding use of pain medications.
Seahawks red-zone failures point to the absence of tall receivers who can win jump balls, seemingly a small thing that loomed large in Arrowhead Stadium Sunday.
So much to pick on, but it says here that the fake FG that Arizona turned into a touchdown was the most egregious in the bounty of blunders produced by Washington in Tucson.
The Seahawks are missing players who accounted for 46 percent of the receptions in 2013, so inexperience is another reason QB Russell Wilson must run — perhaps too much.
After the UCLA loss Saturday, the Huskies coach apologized to fans. Why? Because Huskies lost to 11th-ranked team in country? Please. Never apologize for losing.
