Newbie Jamal Adams saw how Pete Carroll has his back. Now he has coach’s back. All good, in what will be the most provocative season in NFL history.

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 Mariners gave up three veterans — C Austin Nola and relievers Dan Altavilla and Austin Adams — for four prospects from the Padres, including a highly rated outfielder.
He couldn’t be more blunt, and more right: Pete Carroll wants white people to figure out why black people, including Seahawks players, are scared, and fix it.
In a remarkable 15-minute Zoom monologue, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll got after white people’s ignorance about race, his desire for coaches to take stands, and voting.
Had there been a game, Russell Wilson thinks the Seahawks would have struck. Instead, they have a couple of weeks to scare the hell out of NFL owners.
Consequences from another shooting of an unarmed Black man ripped across sports Wednesday. Some Seahawks sat for the anthem, and the Mariners wouldn’t play.
The COVID-19 shutdown made it a bad time for Seahawks to be breaking in a mostly new O-line. But Schottenheimer says his guys won the Zoom meetings. Really?
Former Seahawks star, fired by Ravens, is often oblivious to consequences of his words and deeds. He once said to a rival coach, “Come get me.” Who dares now?
Seahawks had a mock game Saturday at the Clink. Good news is that injured DE Branden Jackson is OK. Bad news is the fan-less Clink will be acres of deadness.
Seahawks new CB Quinton Dunbar says his “name is cleared” of armed robbery charges. Maybe so, but he could have done better in the court of public opinion.
