VAL DISERE, France -- It was another great day for Norway in the first mens speed race of the season, with Kjetil Jansrud and Aksel Lund Svindal finishing 1-2 in a World Cup super-G on Friday. Air Max Plus Saldi .Svindal, back racing 10 months after sustaining a serious knee injury, was 0.17 seconds slower than Jansrud, the Olympic champion in super-G. Jansrud won in 1 minute, 21.66 seconds.Im very surprised, said Svindal, who has had only three weeks of top-level training since rupturing his right ACL in a downhill at Kitzbuehel, Austria. I was fairly nervous, but what can you do? Just try your best, right.Svindal punched the air with both fists when he posted the fastest time as the fifth starter. Jansrud went down two racers later and topped it.To pull off a double victory is quite extraordinary, said Jansrud, the favorite for the marquee downhill Saturday. It was a pretty emotional day for both of us.Dominik Paris of Italy was third, 0.41 behind Jansrud, on a course setting that suited downhill specialists. They had ideal racing conditions until the sun dipped behind the mountains.A stellar Norway mens team earned 19 wins last season and got its first this season in the third race.The team has dominated in super-G with three Norwegians -- Svindal, Jansrud and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde -- combining to win the past five seasonlong titles in the discipline.Svindal said their high standards in training helped him return at such a high level.I have the best teammates in the world, the two-time overall World Cup winner said. Without my team, I would have no chance.Still, the 33-year-old Svindal has defied serious injury throughout his career to return just as strong and fast.After sustaining multiple injuries in a wipeout in Beaver Creek, Colorado, in November 2007, Svindal came back the next season to win his second overall title.He did not race in the 2014-15 World Cup because of an Achilles injury yet returned to dominate last season by winning four of five downhills. Svindal led the overall standings when he crashed in the classic Kitzbuehel race.I think a lot of it is mental strength, Svindal said. A lot of it is being relaxed about it. What happens, happens. Just make the best of the situation.The mens circuit made an early return to Europe after losing two weekends in North America -- in Beaver Creek and Lake Louise, Canada -- because of a lack of snow.Val dIsere stepped in to take the super-G, downhill and giant slalom races scheduled for Beaver Creek.Two American racers posted impressive results despite starting after the sunshine mostly disappeared. Travis Ganong, wearing No. 27, placed seventh, 0.75 behind Jansrud. Starting 61st, Ryan Cochran-Siegle took a career-best 15th place, 1.24 back.Cochran-Siegle had not raced a World Cup super-G since the 2013 world championships in Schladming, Austria. There, the Vermont native suffered a serious knee injury.That was an amazing performance, United States coach Sasha Rearick said of Cochran-Siegles return. He has had many operations, major operations. Im super proud of him.The powerful Austria team struggled, with 10th-place Max Franz its best finisher.Austrian officials had pushed for a new way of deciding the starting order in speed races, and it was used for the first time Friday.The 10 best-ranked super-G racers chose their bib number in order among the odd numbers 1 through 19. The next 10 ranked picked from the even numbers.Kilde, the defending World Cup super-G champion, picked No. 3, Jansrud chose No. 7, and Svindal took No. 5.They proved smart choices as the top five finishers all came between Nos. 4 and 11.

Air Max 97 In Saldo . -- Bryant McKinnie came out of his stance and lowered his shoulder into a practice squad player, causing a crisp thud to reverberate in the Miami Dolphins practice bubble. http://www.airmaxshoponlineitalia.it/scontate-max-95-outlet.html . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Buffalo took advantage of sloppy, Tom Brady-less New England to hand the Patriots their first home shutout at Gillette Stadium, winning 16-0 Sunday.It was the first loss of the season for New England (3-1), which was playing its final game before Brady returns from his four-game Deflategate suspension. The Patriots, who moved into Gillette Stadium in 2002, were last blanked at home 6-0 by the New York Jets in 1993 at Foxboro Stadium.Tyrod Taylor connected with LeSean McCoy for a 7-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, Dan Carpenter added three field goals for Buffalo (2-2).It was Buffalos second win in its last 16 visits to Foxborough. Including his tenure with the New York Jets, it gave Bills coach Rex Ryan his first regular-season road victory over Bill Belichick in eight tries. The last Bills shutout win away From Orchard Park was 23-0 over Washington in a Buffalo home game at Toronto on Oct. 30, 2011.After struggling to maintain drives and finding a run-pass balance, Taylor was spot-on Sunday. He finished 27 for 39 for 246 yards, and directed a unit that was 7 for 15 on third downs. The Bills had been 10 of 36 combined in the first three games.Buffalos defense also carried over its dominant effort from its 33-18 win over Arizona, sacking rookie Jacoby Brissett three times.Brissett made his second consecutive start in place of Jimmy Garoppolo (sore right shoulder). But Brissett, playing a week after injuring his right thumb, struggled to find the command he had in leading the Patriots to a 27-0 win over the Texans. New England finished 1 for 12 on third downs and managed just 277 total yards. The Patriots drove into Buffalo territory only four times, with three of those drives ending in a lost fumble by Brissett, a missed field goal, and a turnover on downs.Nothing was good enough, Belichick said. At any position, at any phase of the game. It just wasnt good enough.After managing to reach the red zone with four drives in their first three games, the Bills did it on their first two series Sunday.Their first possession, a 12-play, 65-yard drive, ended in Taylors touchdown strike to McCoy. The second stretched 52 yards over 10 plays and was capped by the first of two first-half field goals by Dan Carpenter.QUOTABLE:Ryan on getting a regular-season win in Foxborough: God, it feels good to finally win here. ...Its satisfying. But lets face it: They had a player out.Patriots WR Julian Edelman on that missing player: Anytime one of your best players isnt there, theres something missing. Paul George Scarpe Nasa. . We handled a lot of it well. Today we just didnt. The Bills outplayed us, so thats that.PREGAME SCUFFLE: Several punches were thrown when a shoving match erupted near the sideline about an hour before kickoff. The altercation appeared to begin when Brissett was jogging along the field and was shoved by Bills safety Robert Blanton. Brissett didnt stop, and New England rookie receiver Malcolm Mitchell retaliated by shoving Blanton. Blanton responded by punching Mitchell in the chest and head-butting him, which led to several other players and assistant coaches getting involved. Later, Bills safety Aaron Williams shoved a Patriots assistant coach attempting to separate the players. As the scuffles began to dissipate, Buffalo cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman landed a punch on Blantons facemask.FIRST DOWN EFFICIENCY: The Bills matched a season high for first downs with 16 in the first half alone. Buffalo had 16 in each of its past two games after opening the season with 11 in a 13-7 loss at Baltimore. Taylor opened by hitting 14 of his first 17 attempts for 138 yards and a touchdown before closing the half 17 of 22 for 165 yards. That topped the 119 yards passing he had in last weeks 33-18 win over Arizona.SLOW GOING: The Patriots offense was anemic in the opening quarter, failing to get a first down while managing 20 total yards. It was the first time the Patriots went without a first-quarter first down since Week 8 of 2011 against Pittsburgh. Bills safety Aaron Williams said the win was still satisfying even with Brady out.Were probably going to hear the excuses that (Brissett) was a third-string quarterback. Garoppolo was out and Tom didnt (play) ... Its a game man. They get paid just like we do. They got to prepare just like we do.FIRST CATCH: TE Rob Gronkowski, who played sparingly in his season debut last week, caught his first pass of the season, an 11-yard reception in the fourth quarter.INJURIES: Patriots DT Vincent Valentine left in the third quarter with a back injury. Bills CB Corey White was escorted to the locker room in the fourth quarter and placed in the concussion protocol after being shaken up while covering punt.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
