OK so here we go with the fly’s next 4 football predic-tions for 2010. If you remember from the last issue, we’re giving you our predictions of the top 10 teams picked by Vegas.com to win Super Bowl XLV.

Last issue we covered the Colts, Cowboys, Saints and Chargers. If you’re keeping score so far the Colts are 1-1 on their way to a mediocre 11-5. The Cowboys are 0 – 2 but only have 1 more loss coming on their way to 13 – 3 sadly though, losing the NFC Championship game. We predicted the Saints who are currently 2 - 0, to go 12 – 4 on their way to a Super Bowl loss. Finally we picked the Chargers to fall short once again finishing the regular season at 11 – 5. Currently they’re 1 – 1 after two weeks. We did predict the Chargers would start the season 4 – 1 so we expect 3 more wins coming. Now to the next 4 teams picked by the odds makers at Vegas.com to win the Super Bowl!

#5 Patriots: 2009 Record 10 – 6 (AFC East Champion) Vegas.com odds to win the Super Bowl XLV 9 – 1.

The Pats will be in a lot of games this year but just because they are the Patriots. They’re are a well coached team with some proven veterans. It remains to be seen who will be a bigger distraction to the over-all goal of bringing home the Lombardi; Brady’s perfectly mani-cured super model helmet hair or Randy Moss’s alligator mouth. He says he’s going to keep quiet and just play the game but when has he ever been that guy? No contract for next year, coupled with the resurgence of a healthy Wes Welker, Moss will be the ultimate distraction that keeps the Pats from making the post season. With a lack

luster Running game and a barely average Defense the Pats are on their way to a 9 – 7 record.

#6 Packers: 2009 Record 11 – 5 (Wild card loss to AZ) Vegas.com odds to win Super Bowl XLV 19 – 2.

The Packers and Aaron Rodgers were fast becoming one of the top teams poised to make a real Super Bowl run so they say but, we’re not buying it! Aaron Rodgers doesn’t have the supporting cast needed to go far beyond the regular season. In the past, the Packers have played in a weak division but this year is different. The other 3 divisional opponents are fast becoming contenders. We feel the most competitive division in the NFC this year is the North. The Bears, Vikings and yes, even the Lions will give the Pack quite a fit. To add to the problems, the season ending ankle injury to RB Ryan Grant ensures the Packers will fall far short of Vegas.com’s prediction as the 6th most likely team to win the Super Bowl. Sorry cheese heads, Packers are going to finish a disappointing 7 – 9 this year missing the playoffs entirely.

#7 J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!: 2009 Record 9 - 7 (AFC Championship Loss to Colts) Vegas.com odds to win Super Bowl XLV 10 – 1.

On paper the Jets look very good this year. QB Mark Sanchez is coming in to his own and should put up career numbers especially with the addition of LaDainian Tom-linson and Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes (once back from his 4 game suspension). It’s a long NFL season and the Jets are going to have some injuries unfortu-nately which will include a key injury to CB Darrelle Revis. Even still, the one key element that will keep the Jets from obtaining their goal will be big mouth of 2nd year head coach Rex Ryan. He’s openly put a huge target on the back of his team and they’re just not ready to handle that pressure. Our advice to the Jets, be humble and let your play to the talking, otherwise you’re just blowing hot air! Prediction: 10 – 6 winning the AFC East but falling short in the playoffs.

#8 Vikings: 2009 Record 12 - 4 (NFC Championship Loss to Saints in OT) Vegas.com odds to win Super Bowl XLV 11 – 1.

MVP running back Adrian Peterson will explode for his first 2000 yard rushing season and he can thank Brett Favre for that! Why, you ask? Because this year Brett’s going to show us his body can no longer physically take the long punishing NFL season. Peterson will emerge as the leader and take the team on his shoulders running them to a NFC North division title barely beating out “Da Bears” for a postseason bid. With the early season absence of top WR Sidney Rice (notice we didn’t call it an injury) the Vikings are going to need Peterson more than ever. The Vikings will come out to a slow start because of Favre’s absence from training camp but will finish OK. We can’t leave out the Vikings defense; they’ll be tops in the NFC again this year! Our prediction: 11 – 5 and a NFC North title. They’ll lose to the Cowboys in the Divisional Championship round. Note: Brett finally calls it quits………….. or does he?

We’ve got 2 more teams to cover to finish up the top 10 teams picked by Vegas.com to win Super Bowl XLV. Check out the next issue for our predictions for the NY Giants and the Ravens who we predict will win the big game on February 6, 2011. Follow our picks all season long and see how accurate we actually are! We don’t just make this stuff up! Haha

There was no question who we had to pick for this issue’s featured Top Barkeep. You made the decision for us and that’s exactly what we’re looking for. Jamie was nomi-nated 11 times by 10 different people. We received emails as well as messages posted on our website not only nominating Jamie but, detailed explanations of why she’s their favorite Top Barkeep! Some of the reasons we got were as follows:

1). “Always a smiling face when you walk in the door.”2). “She knows what I want to drink without me even ordering!“3). “Perfect personality“4). “Really nice to look at...come on, she’s HOT!“5). “Have you heard the girl sing? Voice of an Angel...“6). “She is grateful for everything in her life and is a great friend.“7). “Jamie is a good mommy and wife... so hands off boys! She’s taken.”

Jamie has almost 9 years experience “serving booze with a smile” as she says! She’s even created her own shot called “xAbs”, give it a try. She considers her customers and regulars her second family so you know she’ll take care of you. When we inter-viewed Jamie she wanted us to pass on she thanks her customers for their support. If you happen to find her off duty buy her a Bud Light because she’s a beer girl! In her free time she enjoys hanging with her family swimming, boating, camping and just being active.

We were amazed by the following Jamie has. We encourage you all to take a trip over to Jake’s and belly up for a couple cold ones. She’s there every Monday, Tues-day, Wednesday & Friday from 6pm - Close. We can’t imagine you’d regret any part of it, except maybe a sore jaw from smiling and having such a good time! Also, join Jamie for Western Wednesday’s starting Oct. 6. Enjoy listending to country music all night long.

Good job Jamie and Congratulations!

We handpicked

Winter as our Top Bar Fly for a couple reasons. She’s a self-admitted bar fly, she always sends us photos of her and her friends out having a good time but even more simply, she’s just a rad girl who is always very sup-portive of the HBF.

Winter moved to Havasu 7 years ago from Harlan, Iowa. Winter is engaged to be married to John Sette, a LHHS graduate. Winter is a mommy and a very talented Wedding Designer/ Planner.

Her favorite adult beverage is simple; a Jager Bomb. She loves McKee’s and hanging with her friends. Tell Winter you saw her in the bar fly and why not buy her a drink too?! Thanks Winter!!

Saturday September 18 the World Famous Kokomo Havasu played host to the 5th installment of the 2010 Bud Light Corn-hole Challenge. 11 – 2 person teams braved the heat and humidity to compete for the prestigious unofficial title of Lake Havasu’s Top Cornholes! Tournament organizer Ryan Schroeder was excited with the turnout even though the weather was a little sticky. It was definitely nothing a couple $1 Bud Light’s couldn’t cure. That’s right, how can you beat $1 beer?! The par-ty started at 7 pm and went in to the wee hours finally ending at 2 am. Somewhere in the middle of all the fun they managed to squeeze in a few games too!

For those of you who aren’t up on Cornhole it’s similar to horseshoes but, much safer to play while drinking! Teams are made up of 2 people. Each person takes turns attempting to throw 3 been bags through a hole on a board 30 feet away. Points are awarded per bag successfully thrown through the hole.

It was really nice to see a good turnout for this event. Kokomo provided a great setting for the tournament and it was espe-cially nice playing with the palm trees and bridge in the back-ground! The team of Justin Rohn & Scott Cummings finished 3rd taking home $100 while Travis Rundi & Cody Skates took 2nd place winning $175. The Top Cornhole team of the evening was that of JJ Burress & Brandon Jones who cashed in for a very nice $275. Congrats to all participants especially the win-ners!

The title of #1 Stud in Town was officially awarded to Ryan Schroeder. Promo girl Sara Herrick handled all the awesome raffles & prizes which were provided by Bud Light. Raffle tickets went for $5 each or 5 - $20. The big prize of the night went to Dougweiser French who won a set of official boards and bean bags. Congrats to him!

The next tournament is scheduled for Saturday November 3rd at the Desert Martini at 2 pm. Sign ups are $50 per team con-tact Ryan Schroeder at (928) 486-3571 for more info.
