# 5 Las Vegas native Aaron Wheelz earns Golden Buzzer on AGT Extreme
Aaron Wheelz was born with Spina Bifida and confined to a wheelchair at the age of six, but he has never let his disability stop him from living life to the extreme. In fact, he modified his wheelchair to compete in BMX races and continues to do insane tricks. Wheelz attempted one of these stunts during a taping of America's Got Talent Extreme and tried to do a flip after coming down a halfpipe. He started off with all the momentum in the world but came down face first when attempting to land. The moment was gruesome, but his bravery got him to the next round.
"Here on America's Got Talent: Extreme, everyone here is crazy. So for my performance, I'm pulling out all the stops. I've put in a lot of hours, a lot of crashes. It feels like I've been training my whole life for this," Wheelz said before his stunt.
Despite earning a Golden Buzzer to the next round from judge Nikki Bella, the Las Vegas native decided to try the flip again to prove he could do it. While the audience watched on in a mix of fear and anticipation, the young man pulled off the trick flawlessly and didn't let his initial setback ruin his day. It's going to be interesting to see what this guy does next.

#4 Las Vegas Aces sit 4th in CBS WNBA Power Rankings
It's no secret that the Las Vegas Aces have been on the losing end of the stick for quite a few seasons now, but that's not the whole story. The team usually dominates throughout the regular season, only to get destroyed come playoff time. One year, the Aces even made the Finals, only to get swept by the Seattle Storm in three games.
Another year, they ran at the top of their division but were eliminated in the very first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately for the Aces, this problematic pattern has forced CBS.com analysts to rank them fourth in the 2022 WNBA power rankings. That puts them behind the Chicago Sky, Seattle Storm, and the Connecticut Suns.
According to CBS.com's WNBA power rankings, "Last season was all too familiar for the Aces, as they cruised through the regular season only to fall short in the playoffs. This time, it led to massive changes. Becky Hammon took over for Bill Laimbeer as head coach, and Liz Cambage left in free agency. Major overhauls such as this always create some question marks, but Hammon implementing a more modern style around former MVP A'ja Wilson -- re-signed this offseason -- and a dynamic backcourt led by Chelsea Gray and Kelsey Plum is a future to believe in.

#3 Jack Eichl scores first goal for the Las Vegas Golden Knights
When will the Jack Eichel trade pay off? That's the question Las Vegas Golden Knights fans have been asking for months now, and they got their answer last week during a game against the San Jose Sharks. Not only did Eichel score a goal during their 4-1 victory over San Jose, but he also added an assist for good measure! This comes after the former Buffalo Sabre was left scoreless in his first two games withLas Vegas.
"It's starting to come," Eichel said after scoring his first goal as a Las Vegas Golden Knight. "I'm just trying to get a little more aggressive. I feel like I've been passing up chances to shoot the puck, and I feel that generates a lot for my game when I can just be aggressive. So, I just have to keep getting pucks to the net and keep it from the other team."

#2 Liz Cambage clarifies statement on Becky Hammon after leaving Las Vegas
Liz Cambage made headlines when she called out the Las Vegas Aces for offering Becky Hammon a multi-million dollar deal, and many thought it would be the end of Cambage's time with the team. That ended up being the case after Cambage verbally committed to the Los Angeles Sparks during the offseason, but she did take the time to clarify that he holds no ill will towards Hammon. She's happy about the coach's deal but feels that it's wrong for players to be getting paid so little.
"I find myself saying, 'If not me, then who?' And if not now, then when?'" Cambage said. "If something's not right, I'm going to question it. And I'm also the type of person, I never want to take away from what someone else has. I want to work out how we can get more. I hate to see things that I've said be portrayed that I'm trying to take away from someone else. "

#1 Las Vegas Raider Quarterback Derek Carr headed to the Pittsburgh Steelers according to PFF.com
Derek Carr trade scenarios continue to swirl around the internet, and Profootballfocus.com even came up with a mock draft last week that has the veteran Quarterback going to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Of course, that might be hard to believe, especially after head coach Josh McDaniels expressed his interest in working with him in Las Vegas, but it's an interesting rumor.
Again, Josh McDaniels has made it known that he wants to work with Carr, but what if those talks fall through? What if Carr asks for too much and the Las Vegas Raiders decide he isn't worth it?
