The Agenda with Steve Paikin
Taking Football to a Higher Level
The Agenda welcomes Randy Ambrosie, the 14th commissioner of the Canadian Football League, to discuss where the league stands today and his plans for changing its business operations. Then, Maryann Turcke, the NFL's first ever female Chief Operating Officer, talks about how she's helping with that league's business evolution. And, pioneering quarterback Chuck Ealey talks about how he had to come to Canada in order to live his football dream.

Thanks for this heads up

I really enjoyed listening to Chuck Ealey, a well spoken man. I didn’t know about his NCAA record and I didn’t know that he came to Canada and stayed. A nice story.

Indeed, thanks to both of you.
I'm curious to watch this.

I thought they were good interviews all around

I watched the first two with Ambrosie and Turcke, Paikin did an excellent job with both interviews I thought. In terms of concussions both Ambrosie and Turcke reiterated the point that the evidence on CTE from football hits is still controversial with the evidence not hard enough at this time to make any final conclusions. Both leagues appear to be on the same page according to these interviews. Will watch the Ealey segment later.
