According to the Canadian Press, the mayor of Calgary will a have a friendly bet with the mayor of Toronto when the Calgary Stampeders meet the Toronto Argonauts for the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto on Sunday.
On Monday, Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi proposed a bet to Toronto mayor Rob Ford. Whoever loses the bet will need to donate his individual weight in food to the winning city’s food bank and the loser must also wear the winning Grey Cup team’s jersey in a city council meeting.
Nenshi proposed the bet on Twitter, and Ford accepted.
Ford played high school football at Scarlett Heights Entrepreneurial Academy in Toronto and has coached the Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School since 2001. Ford’s niece Krista was a former captain of the Toronto Triumph of the Lingerie Football League and the club’s marketing manager.

According to the Canadian Press, Calgary Stampeders’ wide receiver Nik Lewis was fined an undisclosed amount Wednesday for an inappropriate comment he made Monday on twitter.
Lewis made the following comment, “I just bought OJ’s gloves on eBay. Now all I need is a white girl named Nicole.#Maybe a little too far.”
Lewis’s comments have been described as “horrific”, “idiotic”, “sick”, and “sheer stupidity” by Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun.
In an excellent article written by George Johnson of the Calgary Herald suggests “maybe it’s time to take away the toys.”
What is even more amazing is Lewis’s lack of remorse. He told Francis today following practice that “Do I regret it? I regret they’re taking money out of my pocket” and told Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald , “you can’t just go around apologizing every time.”

Calgary Stampeders’ running back Jon Cornish stepped up with a key game Thursday night at Hamilton’s Ivor Wynne Stadium.
After being in the negative category in rushing yards in his last game (-1), and criticizing his offensive line, Cornish was much better last night as he rushed for 170 yards in a 31-20 Calgary win over Hamilton.
With the win, the Stampeders improve to 3-3 while Hamilton fell to 3-3. Just how close is the East at the moment? Hamilton, the Toronto Argonauts and Montreal Alouettes are all tied for first place with similar .500 records.
This was the first time the Stampeders played the Tiger-Cats since the two teams made their famous offseason blockbuster deal that saw quarterback Henry Burris traded from Calgary to Hamilton for quarterback Kevin Glenn and offensive lineman Mark Dewit. Ironically both teams came out sluggish and did not score in the first quarter.
The Stampeders dominated the fourth quarter, outscoring the Tiger-Cats 14-0 on an eight yard touchdown run by Romby Bryant and an eight yard touchdown pass from Glenn to Nik Lewis.
