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.
DE Snacks Harrison will be elevated from the practice squad Sunday. The O-line has a newbie too. Versus Aaron Donald, Kyle Fuller will start in place of injured C Ethan Pocic.
Forget for a moment about the Seahawks defense. Since Aaron Donald was drafted, the Rams are 8-4 versus Seattle. He’s the biggest reason. Run, Russell, run.
A closer look at the Seahawks secondary discloses an injury calamity over time that is the principal reason they are reckoning with bad football history. Ah, but Carlos Dunlap . . .
CF Kyle Lewis is the fourth Mariner to win the American League Rookie of the Year award, following Alvin Davis (1984), Kazuhiro Sasaki (2000) and Ichiro (2001).
Pete Carroll said he “didn’t recognize” the game the Seahawks lost 44-34 at Buffalo. It should be a bit familiar. Defense is so bad it’s putting Russell Wilson’s health in jeopardy.
Pete Carroll struck while his iron was 6-1 hot, getting a contract extension through the 2025 season from the Seahawks, keeping him in Seattle for the rest of his coaching career.
The feats of DK Metcalf are beginning to build a legend, even if he’s in only his second year. Pete Carroll found a comparison that will wake the echoes in Buffalo Sunday.
A Covid-19 breakout among Bears players forced Pac-12 to cancel Washington’s opener at Cal. As the infection rate spikes nationally, a football season becomes a random act.
Newly acquired DE Carlos Dunlap will start with newly healed SS Jamal Adams in Buffalo. After three good quarters vs. the 49ers, Seahawks defense may restore a bit of dignity.
