This week on CurvAmerica we discuss Juventus’ big win over Milan in front of an epic Milanese crowd and trip by North American Milan fans. Roma finally put on a show in league play over a floundering Sampdoria team, Atalanta wax the eyebrows off of Inter but no worries because Icardi has his tattooed on, Napoli win in the Monsoon Bowl, Sassuolo and OTFR split points at the Mapei Stadium, and the Inzaghi bowl chances might be taking another hit after Team Meat Sauce are given the disgrace of allowing the Geriatric Donkeys to have zero points in the league.
Marco and Tad cover for Chris, AGAIN! The Medicis vs Caesars ends in a draw. Napoli, Juve, Torino, OTFR and Inter wax their opponents like a surfboard. Milan once again rely on the Cardiac Capitano and Empoli show the freezing temperature of their blood and fire Aurelio Andreazzoli on his birthday.

Some late magic in one of the world’s great derbies, CurvAmerica vs. Serie A sitdown errrrr the derby della madonina. Genoa are the Serie A Batman and show the world that the Superman of Juventus does in fact bleed, but the Old Lady are not ready for death and fight off the Red Devils. Napoli see the Juve result and get warmed up for a Khabib-style beat down of Udinese. Roma aka Humpty Dumpty fall off the great wall of SPAL but all EDF’s men were able to put themselves back together again and win against the election meddlers.

Not a single tie in the entire league this week, but also very few surprises. Juventus wake up, eat breakfast, brush their teeth, take out the trash, win a league game, come home, take a shower and go to sleep. Napoli hand Sassuolo their second straight loss to the Serie A elite, but Milik will have to play from here on out without his chain. Roma do their best to play poorly, but still pull out 3 points against the most uninteresting team in the world, Empoli. Inter make it 4 league wins in a row against the decidedly mediocre Wall of SPAL. OTFR wake up from their Europa league nightmare to win their 5th out of 6 in the league and silence their own Ultras. And, Sampdoria, Milan, Parma and Torino are all on the verge of a Lou Brown from Major League winning streak.
Juventus looks as fierce as ever and remain one of 2 unbeaten teams in the 5 major european leagues with a convincing victory over Napoli. Milan silence some haters with a beatdown of reprised cinderella hopefuls Sassuolo. Roma smoke OTFR like it ain’t no thang with a huge Derby Della Capitale win. Fiorentina get back in the win column thanks to a Greg Luganis performance from Rich Faith in the Church Chiesa, Federico Chiesa. Inter make it a winning streak with their 3rd straight victory over the Iron Island of Cagliari, Piatek stays disco inferno hot bringing Genoa to victory, and the Inzaghi bowl get a huge boost with Bologna rebounding to get 3 points off of Udinese after a mid week loss to Juve.
POD SPECIAL! Atalanta, La Dea, The Goddess. They are a historically mid-table team, but have a knack for also being giant-killers, taking down the big names of Italian calcio. They’ve recently had big runs in Europa, to the delight of all fans who love an underdog story. The Atalanta fan base continues to grow globally, from their home of Bergamo in northern Italy, to England, and even in our own Sin City here in the US - Las Vegas! This was a really fun episode, where we discuss "The Tank Story," Rocky Balboa, and a new podcast - Atalanta Now!
Golden State Juventus take it easy on Frosinone by only beating them 2-0 - all Frosinone mothers are grateful. Napoli play another great game that has all their supporters wondering “what the hell happened against Sampdoria?” Speaking of Sampdoria, the fortress of Genoa is breached by Inter, who slowly but surely are contributing the rise in cardiac attacks in Milan. Fiorentina are still super young and getting sexier as the say to the rest of the Serie A “You see? It’s not that hard” with a 3-0 waxing of the Great Wall of SPAL.

Get you some International break content! Tad interviews journalist Mike Piellucci (@mikelikessports) about his latest CR7 piece on The Outline. Mike gives his view of CR7 as the one of the most intriguing people in all of sports, both as a baller and an enigma. Then, the pod takes a steep drop off in sexy to hear Mike's Inter Milan opinions, including the performance of Inter's new signings so far, the state of Inter recent signings and how Tad's exes Radja and Spalletti are fairing with their new girlfriend, La Beneamata.
Juventus keep winning but there is shade and pessimism all around the team. Napoli catch a waxing from Sampdoria like Steve Carell in the 40 year old virgin. Milan get their first win of the season against a Roma team that has now sucked the most to start a season in 5 years. OTFR win a derby-ish by waxing the mustache off the Nonnes of Frosi. Fiorentina aka Fiorentina U take another team to school in consecutive weeks. Inter close their scudetto gap to Juve by 5 points with the help of a Ninja.
