ROME -- Defending champion Juventus moved atop Serie A with a 4-1 win over 10-man Udinese on Sunday that extended the Bianconeris unbeaten streak in the Italian league to 41 matches. The match turned when Udinese goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic was sent off for a foul on Sebastian Giovinco, leading to a penalty kick that Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal converted in the 14th minute. Mirko Vucinic doubled the lead in first-half added time and Giovinco added two more goals, in the 53rd and 71st. Andrea Lazzari pulled one back for Udinese in the 78th. Juventus has a full six points, having also won its opener against Parma last weekend. Napoli and Lazio also have six points, but Juventus is ahead on goal difference. Napoli beat Fiorentina 2-1 with second-half goals from Marek Hamsik and Blerim Dzemaili before Stevan Jovetic pulled one back for the Tuscan side. Lazio downed Palermo 3-0 with two goals from Miroslav Klose and another from former Juventus midfielder Antonio Candreva. Sampdoria also remained perfect with a 2-1 win over Siena but has only five points after being penalized one point in a betting scandal. Sampdoria opened with a 1-0 win over AC Milan, which bounced back with a 3-1 victory at Bologna on Saturday. Also Sunday, Roma beat Inter Milan 3-1 with goals from Alessandro Florenzi, Pablo Osvaldo and Marquinho after Antonio Cassano had temporarily equalized for Inter. Roma and Catania, which edged out Genoa 3-2, have four points each. In other matches, Parma beat Chievo Verona 2-0 with goals from Algerian forward Ishak Belfadil and Aleandro Rosi; and Swedish midfielder Albin Ekdal scored a last-minute equalizer as Cagliari drew 1-1 with 10-man Atalanta after having two penalties saved by Atalanta goalkeeper Andrea Consigli. Having gone all of last season unbeaten, Juventus has not lost in Serie A since falling 1-0 to Parma in the penultimate round of the 2010-11 season. Thus far, it doesnt appear distracted by the 10-month match-fixing suspension imposed on manager Antonio Conte for violations stemming from when he coached Siena two seasons ago. Udinese also lost its opener, to Fiorentina, and failed to qualify for the Champions League following two draws with Portuguese side Braga in the final round of playoffs. In Udine, Andrea Pirlo again ignited Juves attack. First, the midfield maestro placed a long, vertical pass at the feet of Stephan Lichtsteiner, but the fullback wasted a great chance by shooting high in the fifth. In the 12th, Pirlo used a similar pass to Giovinco that resulted in the penalty and the red card for Brkic, who made contact with Giovinco as he leaped into the air to grab the ball near the edge of the area. Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta concurred with sharp criticism from Udinese that Brkic should not have been sent off, but he agreed the penalty was deserved. "Honestly I think the decision was excessive," Marotta said. "We wanted to win 11 vs. 11." Vucinic was left unmarked to score from the centre of the area, while Giovinco pounced on a rebound for his first goal, then received a pass from Pirlo before firing in an angled shot for his second. Juventus paid Parma C11 million ($13.9 million) to re-acquire Giovinco in the off-season. So far its looking like a smart deal. Cheap Jerseys China . PETERSBURG, Fla. Wholesale Jerseys .

Bob Costas will host the event for NBC Sports and will be joined for coverage by Mike "Doc" Emrick, (play-by-play), Eddie Olczyk (game analyst), Pierre McGuire (inside-the-glass analyst), and Mike Milbury (studio analyst). NBC Sports conducted a media conference call today with Costas, Emrick, Milbury, McGuire and Sam Flood (coordinating producer). For a complete replay, dial 719-457-0820 and enter passcode 7945125. Follow are highlights: COSTAS ON THE BUZZ AROUND THE NHL WINTER CLASSIC: "The buzz for it is like nothing Ive seen." MILBURY, A BOSTON NATIVE, ON THE BUZZ IN BOSTON: "The energy has been building since the announcement. Its the toughest ticket to get that I have seen in all of my years in Boston, including Bruins playoffs, Red Sox playoffs, Patriots championships and Celtics championships. This is an event. Its going to be a spectacular event and Im proud to even be a little bit a part of it." COSTAS ON THE NHL WINTER CLASSIC AS AN EVENT: "This really is an event. It attracts a lot of people who dont necessarily follow hockey closely throughout the course of the year." EMRICK ON HOW PAST PLAYERS FEEL ABOUT THE NHL WINTER CLASSIC: "I spoke with Ryan Miller, the goalie from Buffalo just this past fall almost two years after the first Winter Classic. He still has a big smile on his face when he talks about it. And his team didnt win! Ryan Whitney and Colby Armstrong, now former Penguins, were walking in with the bagpipes and the fire salutes and one tapped the other on the shoulder and said Lifetime memory right here. Take it in." COSTAS ON THE HISTORY OF THE NHL WINTER CLASSIC: "The first one turned out even better than we thought it would. It snowed in Buffalo and was a tremendous atmosphere with that snow globe affect on camera; Sidney Crosby wins it with the winning goal in a shootout. And then we go to Wrigley field last year and the rivalry between the Blackhawks and the Red Wings. And now we take it to Fenway Park." FLOOD ON PRODUCING OUTDOORS: "We almost have twice as much equipment as we have for a regular-season NHL game. We have an airplane, which is not normal for a hockey game. For the first game, it was one of those ground breaking moments in TV -- a replay from an airplane of a hockey game. It never happened before and can only be duplicated." MILBURY ON GROWING UP PLAYING OUTDOORS: "We lived on the ponds. The excitement was there because there was nobody to tell you where to go, where to line up. It was just mayhem. You played until you couldnt play anymore and were frozen. You maybe brought an orange and broke it open and had that incredible smell of the fresh cold air." FLOOD ON THE WEATHER MAN: "Its an event. Its much more than a game. Its the only hockey game in America or the world where you have a weather man working for you. Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel will be there. Weve had a weather man at every game." MILBURY ON THE FREEDOM OF PLAYING OUTDOORS: "The players will be incredibly excited walking into that venue. The whole sense of playing outside is a sense of joy, pure freedom without any restrictions, no rules, no regulations. Just go beat around a puck and try to put it in between two old boots and have some fun." EMRICK ON THE PLAYERS: "You sshouldve seen Brian Boucher this summer.dddddddddddd Hes from Woonsocket, R.I. When he was at Fenway Park for the press conference, you could see in his eye he didnt want to think anything ill of Ray Emory or anyone else. But he wants to play in this game for the Flyers. We were talking with Flyers coach Peter Laviolette, another New Englander who grew up spending a lot of summers at Fenway Park, and how hes excited getting to coach a hockey game there. On skates and with this his stick raised to maximum heights, Zdeno Chara can get one third of the way up the Monster. Not bad." MILBURY ON FENWAY: "You walk into that place and its a museum." COSTAS ON HIS FIRST GAME AT FENWAY PARK: "I think it was the Red Sox and the Milwaukee Brewers. I know that John Tudor was pitching for the Red Sox." COSTAS ON FENWAY PARKS HISTORY: "All the history. The idea that someone sat there and watched Babe Ruth pitch or Ted Williams bat or Lefty Grove or Jimmy Fox plus all the visiting players through the years and the specific games and events. Fisk and Dent and the Impossible Dream and Yaz. The only thing missing is that when the Red Sox won the World Series in 04 and 07, they clinched in St. Louis and then in Colorado so they never had the chance to put the finishing touches on it at Fenway Park." "The energy has been building since the announcement. Its the toughest ticket to get that I have seen in all of my years in Boston, including Bruins playoffs, Red Sox playoffs, Patriots championships and Celtics championships. This is an event. Its going to be a spectacular event and Im proud to even be a little bit a part of it." -- Mike Milbury, a Boston native, on the buzz COSTAS MOST VIVID MEMORY OF FENWAY PARK: "One that stands out the most was Carl Yastrzemski hitting a home run. It wasnt that important in terms of the context of the game, but it was his last season in the major leagues. It had to be his second- or third-to-last home run in the big leagues. There was something about him that was so timeless. I was doing the game with Tony Kubek and called that home run hit by a guy the first time you saw when you were only 10 or 11 years old. That was pretty cool." FLOOD ON CAMERA PLACEMENT: "The camera baskets are designed for a baseball game, not a hockey game, so we spent a lot of time figuring out what the right angles were and what the right places were to put all of our cameras to make the game shine. We also shoot this bigger and wider than a normal game because its about the place as much as the game." MILBURY ON THE BRUINS-FLYERS: "Ultimately this game should be a really good hockey game between two teams that should be among the elite of the conference." MCGUIRE ON THE BRUINS-FLYERS: "This is going to be a ton of fun. Its energy on both sides. Its one team that is clearly desperate to get points in the standings, the Philadelphia Flyers. Its another team thats so proud, the Boston Bruins, and the internal leadership that they have with Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara and Mark Recchi. Theres going to be villains on both sides. Youve got Shawn Thornton with the Boston Bruins and you have Danny Carcillo on the Flyers. You are going to have Scott Hartnell and his wild hair flying all over the place. This game is going to be about energy." MILBURY ON THE RIVALRY BETWEEN BRUINS-FLYERS: "This rivalry goes back to the late 1960s, early 1970s and right through that decade in particul
