NFL NEWS & NOTES: SAYERS OWNED THE PACK ONCE, WILL HE AGAIN?

          Packers President Bob Harlan said the "great majority"
     of purchases of Packers stock are "not for individuals, but
     for others," according to Bob Wolfley of the MILWAUKEE
     JOURNAL SENTINEL.  Harlan did not reveal how many shares the
     team has sold, although he said it hasn't reached 200,000.
     The team aims to sell 400,000 shares. Harlan puts the
     biggest purchase so far at $50,000, saying the average
     number of $200 shares per purchase is 1.7.  Among the buyers
     is former Bears RB Gale Sayers.  Harlan said that one source
     told him Sayers bought $5,000 worth (25 shares), but Harlan
     "could not verify that" (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 11/30).
