NHL conference finals set
Tonight, the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes open the Eastern Conference final in Boston. The Hurricanes certainly weren't expected to make it this far.
In the West, the St. Louis Blues will be in San Jose to take on the Sharks for Game 1 on Saturday.

XFL schedule has been released
Will the league fare any better than the AAF, which suspended operations in early April, or the XFL's first kick at the can in 2001, which was its one and only season?

Would you trade places?
If not now, at any point in your life? Would you have the inclination to explore space?

Amber Guyger:
Cop who shot Botham Jean in HIS apartment during 911 call: "I'm going to lose my job."
After introducing herself as an off-duty police officer and providing her current address, Guyger frantically pleads her innocence by declaring that she thought she was in her own apartment and shot someone.
Most disturbingly, instead of immediately expressing remorse for her actions and what had just occurred, she repeatedly laments the fact that shes going to lose her jobsomething she mentions 19 times over the course of the call before eventually apologizing to Jean.
I didnt mean to. I didnt mean to, she says at one point. I didnt mean to. Im sorry.
Holy shit. I thought it was my apartment. I thought it was my apartment, she says later in the call. Holy shit. I thought it was my apartment. Oh my god.
