In the third episode of the Carleton Ravens Football Podcast, we hear from CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie, who was the keynote speaker at this year’s Carleton Ravens Football Dinner on April 5th, 2019. In a visionary (and pretty darn inspiring) address, Ambrosie not only speaks about growing the league internationally and creating new opportunities for Canadians to play abroad, but also how to “take back” the narrative and start growing the sport locally. Definitely worth a listen.
In this week’s ‘Mount Rushmore’, Jeff gives us the best two-sport athletes to have played for the Ottawa Rough Riders/Renegades/Redblacks. Tons of fascinating Ottawa sports history in this segment.

In the second episode of the Carleton Ravens Football Podcast, Jeff welcomes another former Raven in FB Stefano Napolitano (2013-17).
Stefano shares a few memories from his time at Carleton, including being part of the rebirth of the Ravens football program in 2013 and the remarkable Panda Game victory in 2014. We also hear about Stefano’s experience playing pro football In Italy, with Rhinos Milano in the Italian Football League (IFL). Certainly topical, with the CFL’s “2.0” global initiatives having kicked off in recent months.
In the episode’s Mount Rushmore feature, Stefano joins Jeff and they each provide their four best players from the first five years of the re-launched Carleton Ravens football program.
