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.
Busy news weekend in Lake Wobegon for Seattle. Yusei Kikuchi beats Twins and rises, for the moment, to staff ace — good. A-Rod makes deal to buy NBA team — ick.
After 8.5 sacks in SF a year ago, Kerry Hyder looked to the Seahawks a lot like former D-line stalwart Michael Bennett. Their pass rush may be ready at season’s start.
In the second inning of the first start in his return to Seattle, James Paxton had to come out after a forearm strain, making a 10-4 loss to the White Sox far worse.
Before he re-signed with the Seahawks, DE Carlos Dunlap was assured by Russell Wilson that he was returning to Seattle. Just when you were getting amped for Sam Darnold . . .
It’s considered poor sports form to lament about the ordeal from the previous game. Fortunately, Baylor’s ruthless win over Gonzaga negated the urge to peck at details.
In one of the best games in NCAA tourney history, Gonzaga barely kept alive its unbeaten streak. But Jalen Suggs’ 40-footer at the buzzer wasn’t the most unusual moment.
The return of fans seemed to be the lone Seattle highlight. Then excitable rookie Taylor Trammell went stone cold to lead the biggest opening-game comeback in club history.
Thursday, fans gradually start to return to the yard, as the Mariners gradually start toward contention. But if a faster pace is to develop, it has to start with Evan White.
New Seahawks OL Gabe Jackson was ejected last season for stomping on Ndamukong Suh. Is there a better way to introduce the new bodyguard for Russell Wilson?
