ROME -- Juventus clinched its third straight and 30th overall Serie A title Sunday without even playing. With second-place Roma losing 4-1 at Catania, Juventus eight-point lead became insurmountable because Roma only has two matches remaining. Juventus, which has three games to play, can celebrate when it hosts Atalanta on Monday although the Turin squads players and coach Antonio Conte were already seen celebrating at their team hotel wearing championship T-shirts. "Its much more satisfying when you win on the pitch. But its still very gratifying," Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon said. Also, AC Milan got a 65th-minute goal from Netherlands midfielder Nigel de Jong to beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the city derby and stay in the hunt for a Europa League spot. Inter remained fifth while Milan moved level with Parma in seventh. The fourth, fifth and sixth-place finishers will qualify for the Europa League. Milan and Parma are one point behind Torino, which won 1-0 at Chievo Verona with an own goal from Gennaro Sardo in the 54th. The title was a bit of a consolation for Juventus after it was eliminated from the Europa League semifinals by Benfica on Thursday -- missing out on the final in its home stadium. "I was sleeping, resting up for tomorrows match," said striker Carlos Tevez, who leads Juve with 19 goals in 31 matches, on Sky TV. "But my teammates woke me up and there was a lot of excitement. Although I was hoping to celebrate the title before our fans tomorrow." In Sicily, Mariano Izco scored for Catania in the 26th and 34th minutes. Gonzalo Bergessio also netted for the hosts in the 55th after Roma captain Francesco Totti pulled one back in the 37th. Then Pablo Barrientos added another for Catania in the 79th. The loss ended Romas nine-match winning streak, and the Giallorossi put up little resistance against a Catania side fighting to avoid relegation. Roma, which had already clinched second place and the last direct Champions League berth, was hoping to keep the title race open until next weekend when it hosts Juve. However, Roma coach Rudi Garcia said Saturday the title race was over and complimented Juve on its near-perfect season. "We did everything wrong today," Roma coach Rudi Garcia said. "The only thing I didnt get wrong was when I said yesterday that the season was over. Although I wasnt expecting a match like this. ... Ill expect a response next Sunday." Juventus has won all 17 of its home matches and lost only two away games. Both Tevez, who signed from Manchester City, and striker partner Fernando Llorente (Athletic Bilbao) -- who has 15 goals -- joined Juventus before the start of this season and were key players in the title run. Juves defence featuring Italy stalwarts like Buffon in goal and defenders Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci was just as solid. And midfield maestro Andrea Pirlo is still performing near his best at 34. There was controversy two years ago when Juventus celebrated what it claimed was its 30th title, although it actually only had 28 championships then since two were revoked following a 2006 match-fixing scandal. Its the first time Juventus has won three straight since taking five consecutive titles from 1931-5. In Milan, the Rossoneri dominated the first half but had nothing but a shot off the crossbar from Kaka to show for it. Midway through the second half, though, De Jong rose to meet a pinpoint cross from Mario Balotelli with a perfect header for the decider. It was De Jongs first goal in all competitions this season. Elsewhere Sunday, it was: Genoa 0, Bologna 0; Parma 2, Sampdoria 0; and Udinese 5, Livorno 3. Thomas Muller Bayern Munich Jersey .

This week, they discuss Martin Brodeur, Erik Cordier, Johnny Manziel and the end of the Moore-Bertuzzi saga. Bruce Arthur, Toronto Star: My thumb is down to the inevitabilities of time, which brings us to Martin Brodeur. He has been a great goalie. He has had a marvellous career and right now, with training camp coming, hes 42, hes unemployed, his name isnt on any front burners and he been one of the worst goaltenders in the NHL over the past four seasons. Hes never allowed himself to believe that, though, even as New Jersey moved on. So here he is. Its a little sad, sure, but its his choice. Brodeur wont retire for some of the same reasons he was great: his deep need to play, to matter, to believe in himself. The reasons Marty Brodeur was great are the reasons hes waiting and wondering if this game has finally passed him by. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up to Erik Cordier, a career nobody, who made his major league debut this week with the San Francisco Giants and left those of us who saw it, gasping. After almost 10 years of kicking around the minors with four different organizations, Cordier entered the seventh inning of a loss to Colorado and began to throw. Hard. His first big league pitch came in at 100 miles per hour. He followed that up with 100, 101, 101, 100 and a strikeout of Drew Stubbs. Before he finished his hitless inning, Cordier had thrown 16 pitches clocked at 100 or more. To put his debut into some kind of perspective, consider this: 22 big league teams, including the Blue Jays, have noot thrown a single pitch that fast this season.dddddddddddd. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is down to Johnny Manziel, a.k.a. Johnny Football, a.k.a. JFF, and now a.k.a. Johnny Cleveland. Manziels company has filed for its 10th trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, this time for the aforementioned Johnny Cleveland, which, if you think about it, is more flattering than, say, Johnny Clipboard. Now Shaquille ONeal had a slew of nicknames - the Big Aristotle, Shaq Fu - but these were mostly about a basketball player doing it for giggles, not a quarterback trying to laugh all the way to the bank. In his determined effort to expand his brand, the Browns rookie back-up might as well add another name to his burgeoning list: Johnny Trademark. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is up to the settlement, finally made official this week, in the "so-called Moore-Bertuzzi" lawsuit. I know a trial would have been fascinating. It would have been a reporters dream. It might have changed the NHL in some way. It would have brought a verdict and a so-called "winner", though, hardly but particularly for the parties directly involved, it would have been an excruciating experience and no matter where your sentiments lie, we should all agree there has been too much suffering. What a settlement tells us is that both sides saw the need to minimize that suffering, notice I didnt say they could end it. No matter how much money was gained or saved in a settlement, less suffering and the absence of a trial made it the right ending to a sad story that everyone wishes had never happened.
