Chris Petersen has lost two QBs in four months to the transfer portal. The backup to new starter Jacob Eason has never played in college. Not a good Huskies look.

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.
It was time for the Seahawks to assert their NFL-best rushing game.The LA Chargers fell victim. Even C.J. Prosise came in for yards and praise in the 23-15 win.
Russell Wilson said his investment was to help keep “the Sounders in Seattle.” Wait a minute. They weren’t going anywhere. The team was already saved by fans.
Even the Seahawks didn’t quite recognize what they had in Poona Ford last season. Now they know he plays with the same fire as Angry Doug Baldwin.
After the sagas of the Coliseum, Kingdome and baseball/football stadiums, Tod Leiweke asked me if I wanted to write about the next big thing. I said sure.
The Seahawks’ defense was picked apart, and the offense couldn’t manage a TD in the 25-19 loss at Minnesota. Then came bad news about WR DK Metcalf.
University of Texas had more than 3 times the athletic revs of Washington State. That doesn’t begin to explain the hypocrisy and disparity in NCAA sports.
Adrian Hanauer is persuaded that his new celebrity minority partners won’t gum up the Sounders works. That’s what every majority owner says.
A blitz for a safety Thursday woke the big-play echoes of the Legion of Boom. Fitting that it was by DeShawn Shead, who seeks to be the last Boomer standing.
Paxton Lynch, the underdog in the backup QB race, not only helped lead the Seahawks to a 22-14 win, he was able to stick it to his previous team, the Broncos.
