SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the most popular cartoons among Millennials. However, for all of the show’s popularity that comes with living in a pineapple under the sea, there are questions that some might be driven to ask of the Nickelodeon character. Why is his mode of transportation a boat with wheels, and how does its engine run under water? How does Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel in an atmospheric diving suit, survive in Bikini Bottom (the underwater community in which SpongeBob
Bernucca: West’s Advantage Over East Bigger Than Ever
Leave it to Jeff Van Gundy to use the holiday season as another outlet for his vastly underrated sense of humor. During Wednesday’s ESPN telecast of New York-Dallas, the analyst said he was thankful that there were not two Eastern Conferences. But as Thanksgiving quickly morphed into the Christmas shopping season, perhaps Van Gundy could ask Santa Claus for another Western Conference. Because that would allow us to throw out the Eastern Conference with all the torn wrapping paper, ugly sweaters and
Photo of the Day: Enes Kanter, Gingerbread Man
The holiday season is gaining on us quickly. The weather is starting to get cooler, Christmas lights and decorations flood retail stores, and Enes Kanter makes even the biggest of gingerbread houses look tiny. The Utah Jazz forward/center spent some time at, uh, some place that has a giant gingerbread house. I wonder if Kanter, who is originally from Turkey, has some sort of strong interest in these holiday traditions in the States. His photo that he posted to his Twitter
Bernucca: 2011 Draft Contract Extension Scoreboard: Free Agent Market Just Got Crowded
On first blush, next summer’s free agent market seemed a bit fallow. The biggest names among 2015 unrestricted free agents have been out there for some time – Marc Gasol, Rajon Rondo, DeAndre Jordan, Paul Millsap and Tyson Chandler. A nice collection of players, sure, but nothing like the star power of the potential 2016 free agency market. Greg Monroe joined the fray when he accepted his qualifying offer from the Detroit Pistons. And there are likely opt-outs coming from Goran Dragic,
SH Blog: Utah Jazz sign 5-year-old with cancer; Nuggets and Faried rework contract
The Utah Jazz may not have many highlights this season, but they had one Monday night. The team signed five-year-old cancer patient JP Gibson to a one-day contract for the team’s scrimmage at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake. He was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2012. It was mid-way through the third quarter when the crowd started to cheer. If you wanted to know why, you looked down. Rocking his full uniform and wristband, JP trotted on the court like

SH Blog: The Brooklyn Nets Are On The Market
The Brooklyn Nets may be the next NBA franchise to have an ownership change. Though there hasn’t been any major talk reported between the Nets ownership and buyers, there is still reason to believe that the team is very much for sale.
Five Things To Watch: Utah Jazz
Perhaps no team in the NBA has moved on from its past and looked toward its future more than the Utah Jazz. Virtually all of the ties to the great Jazz teams of the 1990s are gone. In their place are a rookie coach and a starting lineup that figures to have no one older than 24. The Jazz won’t be much better than last season, when they lost 57 games, their most since arriving in Salt Lake City from New Orleans
