Manchester United fan groups based in Pittsburgh and Tampa are reportedly the culprits behind a banner that flew over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ stadium targeting the Glazer family.
The Glazers, who own both Manchester United and the Buccaneers, have long drawn the ire of United’s fan base during their stewardship of the club—and it spilled over on their home turf Monday night. Prior to the Bucs’ 25–11 loss to the Eagles, the banner was seen flying over Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, and the video eventually went viral.

After three games setting the college football world alight, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders floated gently back to Earth on Saturday afternoon.
A lackluster 159-yard, one-touchdown afternoon against Oregon put a temporary pause on the Sanders-for-Heisman whispers emanating from the Rocky Mountains — especially as conference mates such as the Ducks’ Bo Nix, Washington’s Michael Penix Jr., USC’s Caleb Williams and Washington State’s Cameron Ward have thrived.
However, Sanders remains on pace to break several noteworthy Buffaloes school passing records.

Liberty forward Breanna Stewart won the 2023 WNBA MVP award, the second of her career, the league announced Tuesday.
Stewart, who joined New York ahead of the 2023 season, earned the MVP in her first season as a member of the Liberty after winning the award for the first time in ’18 during her tenure with the Storm. She also became the eighth player in WNBA history to win the award multiple times, joining Lauren Jackson, Lisa Leslie, Sheryl Swoopes, Cynthia Cooper, Elena Delle Donne, Candace Parker and A’ja Wilson.
Taylor Swift completely took over the NFL news cycle this weekend when she visited Arrowhead Stadium and saw the Chiefs dominate the Bears amid rumors she’s dating Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce. And if Eli Manning gets his way, she’ll be on another NFL broadcast in the near future.
While talking to Sports Illustrated’s Robin Lundberg, Manning was asked about the latest buzz around Swift, and he made a pitch to have her appear on the ManningCast for an upcoming Monday Night Football game.
“I think she would be a popular guest,” Manning said.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr has been diplomatic all offseason about the choice he has ahead of him in the coming weeks, and he was again this week when asked about his potential starting five.
“We basically have six starters, the way I look at it,” said Kerr, whose club added future Hall of Fame floor general Chris Paul to a group that already included two-time MVP Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney.
Four plays. That’s how long it took the New York Jets to go from Super Bowl contenders to #1 overall pick contenders. That’s how many snaps Aaron Rodgers took before suffering a season-ending injury and forcing the team to turn back to previously-benched Zach Wilson.
The team benched Wilson last season in favor of Mike White due to poor performance. All offseason, the team raved about Wilson. “He’s improved so much learning from Aaron Rodgers,” they said.
They lied.
Zach Wilson did not improve this offseason. If anything, he might actually be a little worse.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers squared off on Monday Night Football, with the Eagles taking a 25-11 win. Some Eagles fans even had a major victory off the field when a few of them decided to stick it to the Buccaneers’ giant flag that was making its way up the grandstands.
At one point, the Bucs faithful tried to unfurl a giant banner behind one endzone. However, it came a little short of being fully accomplished and that was all thanks to a few Birds fans.
