Ready for a good laugh? Check out these brutally honest Las Vegas sports memes!
#5 Las Vegas Golden Knights: “If I had one”
While the Las Vegas Golden Knights are one of the most dominant expansion teams in NHL history, they fell short of winning a championship in their first season. The Golden Knights have never made it back to the Finals since that magical year making longtime fans anxious for some progress.
Fortunately, the team seems to be on the verge of a renaissance and could be a favorite in the playoffs this season.
#4 Kyle Busch: You know what really grinds my gears
Las Vegas native Kyle Busch had one of the rockiest seasons of his career in 2022 and it was only made worse by it being a contract season. The two-time Cup Series champion struggled to come to a deal with JGR, which was due to a lack of sponsorship. A deal was never reached, and Busch later announced a move to Richard Childress Racing in 2023.
The problem is that Ty Gibbs, who is rumored to be replacing Busch at JGR in 2023, doesn’t seem ready. He proved as much at Martinsville Raceway, where he wrecked his own teammate for the win. This showed a massive lack of maturity and strategy on his part.
It’s no secret that Busch is one of the best drivers in all of NASCAR and to see him get replaced by such a weak driver is somewhat ridiculous. It’s a slap in the face to everything that Busch has done for JGR, and it’s rubbing fans the wrong way.
#3 Josh McDaniels: You sit on a throne of lies
Josh McDaniels becoming the new head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders was all anyone could talk about coming into the 2022 season. He was supposed to be an offensive genius who learned under none other than Bill Belichick. The man that could get the Raiders back to their winning ways after years of struggling.
Much like the meme suggests, McDaniels has largely sat on a throne of lies. He’s essentially all hype and no substance. In fact, if you include his stint with the Denver Broncos, he has a record of 13-22 as a head coach. That’s a win total of under 50% and an utter embarrassment to his legacy. If he learned anything under Bill Belichick, he would have shown it by now.
What he has shown, however, is a 2-5 record, one of the worst defenses in the league, and an offense that can’t march down the field. The Raiders are in the same place they were last year, and McDaniels did nothing to change that. He doesn’t belong in the role and should be removed as soon as possible.
#2 Las Vegas Aces: Well yes, but actually no
Will the Las Vegas Aces get the respect they deserve after winning a championship? Well, yes, but actually, no. The truth is that the league was forced to respect the powerhouse that is the Las Vegas Aces, but that doesn’t mean the mainstream media will follow suit. It’s actually quite sad.
The Aces are often mocked online, not to mention the fact that people still don’t take the WNBA seriously.
#1 Las Vegas Raiders: Remember when they didn’t suck
Remember when the Las Vegas Raiders didn’t suck? It’s been ages since the Raiders held any kind of relevance,and decades since they have gone to a Super Bowl.
Fast forward to 2022, and the Raiders are just awful on every side of the ball. Derek Carr sometimes can’t even get a touchdown with weapons like Davantae Adams and Hunter Renfrow around him. The Defense also gives up halfway through a drive, and the playcalling is ridiculously bad. It just all mixes into a concoction of mediocrity for the Raiders, and it’s not very fun to watch.
