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.
Kevin Durant returned to his one-year home of Seattle, as did a number of Sonics legends in the final event at KeyArena. Lots of wonderful nostalgia, but no certainty of a Sonics future.

The National Hockey League’s executive committee Tuesday unanimously recommended Seattle’s bid for an expansion franchise. Final approval awaits a December vote.
Yes, Earl Thomas did a foolish thing. But that does not diminish his legacy, nor the irony of the Legion’s demise in just 11 games over two seasons, all in the same accursed joint.
The Huskies’ little linebacker with the big motor had the game’s key play in a 35-7 domination of BYU that was Washington’s most complete effort of the season.
The Seahawks’ star says he has to be careful with his body. Sitting out the physical part of practice is one thing. But will he make a “business decision” in a game?
For the first time this season, J.D. Fluker hoisted his 350 pounds into the argument Sunday against Dallas. The Seahawks ran the ball 39 times and won. Not a coincidence.
As expected, City Council partnered up with Oak View Group Monday for the $700M re-do of KeyArena. But in America’s fastest growing big city, where are the available workers?
Seahawks’ first win since December merited a righteous celebration, but Earl Thomas made Sunday about him by playing well and talking about practice like Allen Iverson.
