THE GLAZERS may be watching anxiously as David Moyes takes his first steps as Manchester United boss and tries to keep Wayne Rooney happy.

But potential problems at Old Trafford are nothing compared with the early season disaster taking place at their Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tampa have lost their opening two games in agonising fashion.
On opening day, they lost 18-17 at New York Jets after giving away a penalty on the last play of the game.
Then they lost their first home game 16-14 to New Orleans Saints to a last-second field goal. Defensive ace Darrelle Revis has also reportedly clashed with coach Greg Schiano because of his disciplinarian approach.
But Revis met with his boss on Tuesday and then tweeted: “I’m happy to be a Buccaneer.”

But with Tampa facing a tough trip to New England Patriots this weekend, hopes of a run at this season’s Super Bowl could be over before they begin.
Schiano remained defiant, though, and said: “This is a resilient team. The head coach is a resilient guy.”
This weekend’s games kick off with Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles tonight, which will be especially poignant for visiting coach Andy Reid.
Reid was in charge of the Eagles for 13 years before being axed in the summer.
“It’s definitely different, knowing coach Reid is on the other side,” said Philly quarterback Donovan McNabb. “That’s just where our lives took us.”
Only eight teams have made a perfect 2-0 start to the campaign and Seattle Seahawks arguably look the pick of them so far.
Seattle have a home clash with the winless Jacksonville Jaguars.
