TAGLIABUE PUTS PACKERS' "FUZZY" STOCK PLAN ON HOLD

          The Packers' plan for a new stock offering was put "on
     hold" yesterday, as NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue called
     the proposal "fuzzy," according to Frank Aukofer of the
     MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL.  Tagliabue said the NFL and the
     Packers needed to restructure the plan "to make it more
     focused so that it was clear to everyone that the Packers
     were a unique entity."  Tagliabue called reports of the team
     raising $80M through the offering was "highly speculative." 
     Tagliabue: "[$80M] is kind of a funny number ... the thing
     that's critical is to understand that the Packers are not
     for profit and this so-called stock is a very unique thing." 
     Packers President Bob Harlan said that he "hoped" to get the
     issue resolved quickly, "perhaps as soon as today" when he
     will participate in a conference call with Tagliabue and
     other NFL officials (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 10/16).
