Poll: What's Your 'Dancing With the Stars' Involvement?

Are you one of the people who helped Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver reach the finals on the popular TV show?

Don’t underestimate this Packers wide receiver's ability. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to Green Bay Packers fans that Donald Driver has the moves. We’ve all seen him wiggle his bum on national TV after a good play. And for the past few months, Packers fans have watched him excel on Dancing With the Stars. Driver needed a miracle to stay alive this week to make it to the show’s finale, wrote the Washington Post. He got that miracle Tuesday night. Is it bad to admit I have yet to see an episode of Dancing With the Stars? I’m not a big TV person and I watch stuff when I get to it. But I’ve seen fans on Donald Driver’s Facebook page cheering him on and talking about voting for him. It makes me curious – what’s your involvement in helping …

Pro Baseball Pick 'Em Contest Winner Announced

Patch user "mp" guessed that the teams would combined for 33 runs, two fewer than the actual total of 35.

Editor's note: Due to an oversight, the winner of this contest was incorrectly announced on Monday. We sincerely regret the error. It shouldn’t be surprising that most entrants in Patch’s Pro Baseball Pick ‘Em Contest did not give the batters enough credit in making their selections. Milwaukee outscored Chicago 18-17 in the three-game series over the weekend, and few participants counted on 35 total runs from the teams battling for last place in the division. By guessing the teams would score 33 runs (Brewers 19, Cubs 14), Patch user "mp" was chosen to win the $100 gift card good for pro baseball apparel. Thanks to everyone who participated. Enjoy the rest of the baseball season!

Photos: Packer Frenzy at Waukesha Sportscards

Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Greg Jennings were signing at Waukesha Sportscards this weekend.

The NFL may be months away from the start of the 2012 season, but it didn't matter to the crowd at Waukesha Sportscards who turned out to see Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings. Patch was there for part of the signing and took these pictures of Cobb and Nelson. However, due to Jennings running late, Patch had to leave before Jennings arrived. So if you have pictures of Jennings, upload them to the photo gallery!

Braun, Rodgers Take it to the Kitchen

Popular athletes will open a restaurant called 8*twelve in June in the former Charro building on Bluemound Road. The MVPs plan to stop in for announced and spontaneous visits.
