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.
New coaches, plays and techniques have fired up C Justin Britt to where he thinks the Seahawks could be one of the NFL’s best offenses. Honest.
It’s not until 2026, but work starts now for Seattle to be one of 10 U.S. cities to host matches in the World Cup awarded Wednesday to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Thomas officially became a holdout Tuesday, and also unique in the Carroll era, because the team needs him more than he needs the Seahawks.
FS Earl Thomas made good on his threat Sunday to hold out for a contract extension. Since the market for expensive vets is quiet, the Seahawks desperately need to deal.
After a fast rise in his rookie season, much like Richard Sherman in 2011, Shaquill Griffin is taking over the Seahawks’ hot corner for his departed mentor.
The Eagles and Trump telling each other to drop dead is no way to run a sport or a country. The president needs to learn the difference between dissent and disloyalty.
The Seahawks were desperate in 2017, going to great trouble to get LT Duane Brown at midseason. What didn’t work right away has a chance to flourish in 2018.
In joining investors seeking to get an MLB team for Portland, Seahawks QB Wilson again takes on a long-shot proposition. But who’s better at third-and-forever?
The Seahawks’ new wideout, Brandon Marshall, knows he’s 34 and is recovering from a bad injury and a bad history. He’s hoping the truth sets him free.
