As we begin this Memorial Day weekend, a departure from sports. This is my wife of 33 years has been battling. It's her story, a difficult journey that has an unknown ending.

So far, the chemo has worked. But we know with cancer, you are never out of the woods.

Interesting study of off season trades and how they're panning out by John Heyman of SI.com. He's got a look at the Volquez-Hamilton deal.

But I'm not buying this, from USA Today about Hamilton.

As my buddy, Mike Florio from profootballtalk.com likes to point out in this video, June 1 used to be a big day in the NFL. But not anymore. Take a look.

I'm talking sports this Sunday again on 700 WLW from 9am-Noon. Lots of talk about the Reds and Bengals, sure. But also about the sale of the Kentucky Speedway that was supposed to bring a Sprint Cup race to Kentucky in 2009. Not so, says NASCAR. Too late to get on the 2009 schedule, apparently. Tune me in or listen on line at 700wlw.com or on XM Radio channel 173.

Sunday night on WLWT's Sports Rock, our special guest is Kentucky Speedway (soon to be) former owner, Jerry Carroll and the winner of the Indianapolis 500, whomever he or she may be.

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend and check out my web site: www.kenbroo.com.
