Racing towards Christmas


Dressed as Santa, David Strout points racers in the way of the register area at Simpson wood United Methodist Church for the Peachtree Corners Christmas 10k on Saturday,

Hundreds of racers, young and old alike came dressed in their best holiday gear as they contribute in the Peachtree Corners Christmas 10k at Simpson wood United Methodist Church on Saturday, Dec. 17, 2011.

Elf ears, reindeer antlers, Santa Claus beards and a few grinches were spotted running throughout the neighborhood on the brisk and windy morning.

The happening was a USA Track & Field endorsed race and a qualifier for the 2012 Peaachtree Road Race later next year.

The race was planned by the Georgia Cup, a Peachtree Corners-based company. If you missed this one, there's one more coming up on Jan. 1, 2012, the Resolution 10k.

It's a great way to start out the new year. The 10K and 5K race will be held in Peachtree Corners Technology Park. Look for more in order coming up on the 2012 Resolution 10K, or visit the company's website for details and register.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is a lot of things. Boring is in no way one of the them.

Interviewed by TMZ, he said NBA players want to win so if they had self-assurance in a woman coach "they would go to war with her."

He also believes there will be an openly gay NBA player in 3-5 years and that it will be "more of a media impression....than a player issue."

He thanks the Lakers for sending him Lamar Odom. "A gift that fell in our lap." As for the Chris Paul trade, he believes the owners were "thrown beneath the bus" and called the events that led him to the Clippers as deceitful. (Move to 2:40 for Cuban and thanks to Yard barker for the video tip)
