The Green Bay Packers put off shopping quarterback Brett Favre to NFC North Division teams for at least another day but it isn't expected to be long before they do. Sources told the Journal Sentinel that the Packers didn't call the Minnesota Vikings or Chicago Bears on Thursday, and therefore presumably didn't call the Detroit Lions, either. But in a situation controlled for the most part by Favre, several executives in personnel for teams across the National Football League predicted that he would wind up in the Packers' own division with an opportunity to beat his old team twice a year. "I believe he'd consider any team so he could stick it to the Packers," a personnel man for an NFC team said. "That's his style." The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been talking to the Packers for some time, are coached by Jon Gruden and play Green Bay Sept. 28 in Tampa. Either way, Favre is in solid shape. He has NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, a longtime fan of Favre's, applying heavy pressure on the Packers to get him situated. Plus, he has the wherewithal to veto any trade overture by refusing to speak to any interested team or, in case of a deal, refuse to report.
