Bucs to play in UK?

The folks at BucPower.com think there's a good chance that the Bucs could play in the UK at some point in the next couple of years. Apparently the NFL is considering bringing the American Bowl to the new Wembley Stadium in London. The last time a NFL team played in the UK was 1992.

BucPower.com beleives that there is a good chance that the Bucs would be one of the two teams to play in the UK, since Malcolm Glazer already owns the Manchester United. While that makes sense to a certain extent, I'm not sure how warm a reception the Bucs could expect in England. I could see die-hard Manchester fans who would associate the Bucs with their owner. It might make sense to send over a team that would be less potentially controversial than the Bucs.
