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 ›

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

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.

At the end of the season, we'll have a random drawing among the weekly winners for a larger prize.
