It was a rough week for Las Vegas sports. The Raiders and UNLV football lost what should have been winnable games. The Las Vegas Aces ended their quest for a 3-peat with a loss to the New York Liberty, and TQ, who went to the game as a spectator instead of a cameraman for the first time, has a theory on why.

The Lakers and VGK are set to begin their seasons shortly, and the fellas drop their expectations for both. Plus, the Dodgers are once again in a win-or-go-home situation, as they always seem to be this time of year. Can they hold off the surging Padres despite a makeshift starting pitching lineup, as 5 out of 6 of their regular starters are done for the season due to injuries?
