as face of the sport to an energy drink targeted to millennia

HOUSTON - Kenwyne Jones had a goal and an assist, helping Trinidad and Tobago to a 2-0 victory over 10-man Honduras to advance to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Jones, who plays for Stoke City of the English Premier League, converted a penalty kick with a deft touch to the left of Honduras goalkeeper Jose Mendoza in the 47th minute. The score came after referee Marco Rodriguez whistled Orlin Peralta for a foul in the penalty area on Cornell Glenn. Nearly 20 minutes later, Jones served Kevin Molino with a precise ball into the box off a pass by Khaleem Hyland. Molino deposited it into the back of net. Despite the loss, Honduras (2-1, 6 points) finished atop Group B after wins over Haiti and El Salvador. Honduras played a man down since the 37th minute, when Jose Velasquez was red-carded. "It wasnt a good game," Honduras coach Luis Fernando Suarez said. "The ejection complicated our attempts to arm the team properly. "Fortunately, if we could lose one game, it was this one," added Suarez, who described Trinidad and Tobago as potent and strong. With the win, Trinidad and Tobago (1-1-1, 4 points) dropped Haiti (1-2, 3 points) out of the competition. "We knew we had to play for the result, but more important for me was the positive approach the team took," Trinidad and Tobago coach Stephen Hart said. "We tried to not only keep possession of the ball but to attack and create some opportunities." Trinidad and Tobago reached the knockout stages for the first time since losing 1-0 to Canada in the semifinals of the 2000 Gold Cup. Gold Cup group-stage play concludes Tuesday in East Hartford, Conn., with Costa Rica facing the United States and Belize playing Cuba, the latter two teams having no points through two matches.Air Max Deluxe Canada . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan.

Fashion is set by a small group of influencers. The challenge is to make your product relevant to that group and then have them influence the others. If weve been successful in the past, weve followed that model.A decade ago, NASCAR was the cool sport, drawing record television ratings and numerous sponsors as it branched out from its Southeastern roots. The recession hit the sport hard, then the fans started to scatter and TV ratings dwindled. Sprint, which inherited the sponsorship of the sports top series when it merged with Nextel, announced in December 2014 it wouldnt renew.It took nearly two years to find a replacement, and its believed Monster is paying much less. But NASCAR hopes the relationship with the California-based maker of caffeine-filled energy drinks will reinvigorate an aging fan base.NASCAR Chairman Brian France kept saying fun and edgy in describing Monster at Thursdays news conference announcing the agreement.They get at a millennial audience in a different way than weve ever been associated wiith, France said.ddddddddddddThey know what theyre doing.France declined to say what the name of the circuit will be in 2017. NASCARs press release of the multiyear agreement referred to NASCARs premier series, hinting the Cup name will go away. An official announcement of the name and logo is expected within a couple weeks.Weve got some real good options on that, France said.NASCAR and Monster will have to move quickly. A marketing plan, signage and other sponsorship issues are pressing ahead of the Feb. 26 season-opening Daytona 500.Its a brand that can translate to the youth, said driver Kurt Busch, whose car has been sponsored by Monster since 2012. Yet its a brand thats respected in all of motorsports.The culture change from a cellular company as face of the sport to an energy drink targeted to millennials was apparent as models in form-fitting outfits flanked both ends of the stage at Thursdays announcement.We want to bring some good shows and entertainment for NASCAR fans so they can interact with our brand and understand what our culture is all about, said Mitch Covington, Monsters vice president of sports marketing. Of course, they will have met the fabulous Monster Energy girls. Were going to have a lot of fun at NASCAR, both in the parking lot and inside the oval. ' ' '
