American businessman Zak Brown will become the new executive director of the McLaren Technology Group next month as the company begins its restructuring process following the departure of CEO Ron Dennis last week.Brown will work alongside existing COO Jonathan Neale and report to an executive committee made up of McLarens majority shareholders as they continue to search for Dennis direct replacement. Brown will start in his role on a yet-to-be-confirmed date next month, with a press release referring to his appointment as a significant part of a restructuring programme that will align the Groups commercial and strategic operations relating to achieving success in Formula One.Brown has extensive experience in the commercial side of the sport after founding and running the JMI marketing group that has been closely involved with several sponsorship deals in F1. Earlier this year he was linked to a position with F1s new investors Liberty Media, but ultimately opted to take the McLaren role.Im immensely proud to be joining McLaren Technology Group, Brown said. I have the utmost respect and admiration for what the business has achieved to date, and I look forward to contributing to the next important phase in its development.Having worked closely with McLaren for many years, Ive been struck by the talent and ambition of the entire workforce, and I very much look forward to complementing the businesss many existing strengths, and building on them to drive future success in everything we do.As founder of Just Marketing International (JMI) -- now the worlds largest motorsport marketing agency -- Ive often worked closely with McLaren as I say, and Ive developed some excellent relationships across the company. Together weve delivered some great sponsorship deals, including Johnnie Walker, GSK, Hilton, Lenovo, Chandon and NTT.Best of all, in my new role Ill be able to combine my absolute passion with my unparalleled area of expertise -- respectively motorsport and marketing -- while ensuring that the two stay totally aligned.A new title sponsor is likely to be high on Browns priority list after Dennis tried and failed to find a replacement for Vodafone over the last three years.Dennis was put on gardening leave last week after losing out in power struggle with his fellow shareholders. He retains a 25% stake in the company and a seat on the board. D. J. Augustin Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Wholesale Hornets Jerseys .

DENVER -- The Broncos defense kept Tom Brady in check. Now, theyre trying to do the same with their frustration.What little hope Denver has at salvaging its playoff chances after a 16-3 loss to New England on Sunday is clearly dependent on a defense that, stellar as it may be, simply cant win games on its own.This year is not a repeat of last season, when the Broncos (8-6) rode the defense all the way to a Super Bowl win.This version of the Denver defense keeps getting betrayed by everything on this team -- a fumbled punt by returner Jordan Norwood, a costly interception in the red zone by Trevor Siemian, an offensive line that struggles to run block and receivers who have trouble holding onto the ball.Frustration? It was barely disguised after the latest loss knocked Denver out of a playoff spot as it stands with two games to go.Yall see what has to get changed, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. Im not going to speak on it too much.No need to. It was glaringly obvious between a Patriots team gearing up for a Super Bowl run and a team whose title defense could be over before the playoffs even start.Denvers D held Brady to 188 yards passing and no passing TDs. And the only touchdown the Patriots (12-2) mustered almost didnt happen. Dion Lewis fumbled on the goal line, only to recover it. A play later, LeGarrette Blount barreled into the end zone to give the Patriots a 10-3 lead.These days, given the offenses struggles, a seven-point deficit feels like much more.We felt like we played almost good enough defense to win that game, Harris said.Standing in the way of any potential conflict is Von Miller -- the keeper of the peace in the locker room.Theres not going to be any friction. Im the partition, Miller said. Its just a tough loss. Its hard to accept it, especially when you put so much in during the week and knowing what this ggame means to us, our organization and our fans.dddddddddddd Weve got two games left. Im not going anywhere. Ill be ready to go.Still, its a long shot, especially going to Kansas City on Christmas Day to face the Chiefs. The Broncos have historically not played well in Arrowhead this time of year. They close the season by hosting Oakland on Jan. 1.Im not really thinking about the playoffs. Im thinking about going to play Kansas City, Miller said.The frustration is understandable. The Broncos have allowed a grand total of three touchdowns over the past three weeks.Their record: 1-2.Thats not going to take us nowhere, being frustrated and beefing with the offense, said cornerback Aqib Talib, who pushed Norwood after his costly fumble in a loss last month against the Chiefs.This time, when Norwood fumbled, Talib walked past him. The Broncos defense bailed him out by allowing only a field goal.But Norwood isnt the only problem.Demaryius Thomas had two big dropped passes -- including a long pass down the sideline -- and Siemian was intercepted by Logan Ryan.Frustrating, no doubt, especially early, Siemian said. We were moving the ball really well and dont have any points to show for it.If someone wouldve told Talib that the Broncos would hold Brady to 16 points and they still wouldve lost, his only response wouldve been: You lyin, he said.The cold, hard truth.Brady began 0-for-6 passing, which ties his longest drought start a game in his career. He was held to a passer rating of 68.2 (in contrast, Siemian had a 73.1).You cant get us down, man, Ward said. Were the best. Cant beat us. Were the best. Keep working until we get those wins.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
