The San Antonio Mara- thon, part of the popular Rock ’n‘ Roll series of 32 races, re- cently moved its date from Nov.17 to Dec. 8 in direct con- flict with the Dallas race.

No one pays much attention to a fringe playoff team, even with the Spurs in town. But a potential player at the trade deadline? Now that generates buzz like Lamar Odom’s in-laws. Of course, the national media reported that the Rangers held the winter meetings hostage, and that worked out for them about like it did the bad guys in Argo. Jon Daniels’ mission at the meetings was to sign big-time free agents Josh Hamilton and Zack Greinke, the ace. He went 0-for-2.
