Glazers see red for big bucks they've spent

The Glazer family saw both of their sets of Reds lose yesterday with Man United's 6-1 mauling by Man City just a helicopter ride away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-18 defeat by the Chicago Bears.

From Old Trafford to Wembley it was a miserable day for the owners of the Premier League and NFL clubs and at one point the Bears threatened to do to Tampa what the Blues had done to United earlier in the day and run away with it, leading 21-5 going into the final quarter.

Tampa rallied with two quick touchdowns to close to within three points seven and a half minutes from time but Chicago responded with a field goal and then intercepted Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman for a third time to seal victory.

The Glazers would have been pleased with the atmosphere generated by a vocal, Bucs flag-waving crowd of 76,981, but in these harsh economic times, that was around 7,500 fans down on previous years at Wembley.
