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.

Senior running back Jessie Callier, a three-year letterman, is out for the season after rupturing an Achilles tendon Saturday on the opening kickoff of the Huskies game against Georgia State, coach Chris Petersen said Monday. The career of Callier, one of four in the tailback rotation, is likely over.
As much as Seahawks and Broncos wanted this game, the football nation needed it — a celebration of the best, while we sort out the other parts of human behavior.
After a horrendous first half in which they trailed 14-0, the Huskies exploded in the second half against little Georgia State for 45-14 win that sends them 4-0 for Stanford.
Ssying he was wrong and promising transparency, lawyer and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell repeatedly obscured and evaded Friday. He failed to own his wrongness.
A little school, Georgia State, gets $900,000 in exchange for allowing itself to be pummeled by Washington. Aren’t college football traditions great?
