Art enters his third decade of writing a column about Seattle
sports, the people who play them and the fans who pay to watch them. Of
the three, there's no question that he's an advocate for the fans.
No issue is tough enough, no cow sacred enough to escape Art's perceptive and piercing commentaries. More than telling it "like it is" or "how it was in the good ol' days," Art reminds us how Sports should be. That's what makes him easily the best sports columnist in the Northwest.
