How about we lighten up on Jenny Mcarthy? She's a mother and has chosen Geneva to raise her son. As far as I know, she's not bothering anyone yet every time there is a mention of her in this rag people use the comment section to call her vile names and suggest every rotten thing in the world about her. Give her a break.   more ›

We all won with the firing of Coach "Lovely" as Mango McMichael calls him! He NY Jets Coach Rex Ryan should be "booted" too or is that his wife's job? At least Lovie is gone. Hopefully he and Rex his favorite quarterback Grossman not Ryan can retire on some ranch and talk about their 2006 season when they failed but think they did good.   more ›

The Bears are in must-win mode this week at Arizona. Can you guess the score? Closest prediction to the outcome wins a Patch tote bag!

The Bears need to win their final two games of the season and get help from other teams losing just to make the playoffs.

The Cardinals started 4-0 before dropping nine straight and finally winning again last week to go 5-9. Predict the score prior to Sunday's Bears game. The reader who correctly guesses the score, or comes closest to guessing the score, will get a Patch tote bag. At the end of the season, we'll have a random drawing among the weekly winners for a larger prize. Congratulations to Kathy Neagle, who predicted the Packers would beat the Bears 27-12.

Predict the Score: Chicago vs. Minnesota

The Bears try to stop their losing streak against the Vikings. Can you guess the score? Closest prediction to the outcome wins a Patch tote bag!

Well that was ugly. The Bears' Monday Night Football shellacking at the hands of the 49ers could make Chicago fans worry about the rest of the season. Predicting what could happen is useless, because from week to week, anything can happen. Having said that, Patch is getting in on the action. Predict the score prior to Sunday's Bears game against the Minnesota Vikings. The reader who correctly guesses the score, or comes closest to guessing the score, will get a Patch tote bag. At the end of the season, we'll have a random drawing among the weekly winners for a larger prize.

The Bears continue a daunting schedule with a Monday nighter at San Francisco. Can you guess the score? Closest prediction to the outcome wins a Patch tote bag!

Both the Bears' and the 49ers' quarterbacks left their games last week with concussions, making this game extra difficult to predict. The Bears are 7-2 and the 49ers are right behind them at 6-2-1, coming off the first tie game since 2008. Now they battle on Monday Night Football,  Patch is getting in on the action. Predict the score prior to Sunday's Bears game. The reader who correctly guesses the score, or comes closest to guessing the score, will get a Patch tote bag. At the end of the season, we'll have a random drawing among the weekly winners for a larger prize.
