Stamps relaxed ahead of centennial game

Let the game begin!

The Stampeders and Argos held their final dress rehearsals today at the Rogers Centre in advance of Sunday's 100th Grey Cup game.

The Stamps look very relaxed, and are slight favorites to beat the hometown Argos in the centennial edition of the game.

Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn believes fate is on his side after his near miss with the Bombers five years ago.

Defensive lineman Anwar Stewart is playing in his 9th Grey Cup game.

The Stamps picked him up in week 16 to bolster their pass rush and that move has paid dividends.

Stewart says Calgary's front four should be able to handle the Argos offensive line, giving them an opportunity to harass quarterback Ricky Ray.

The Grey Cup party continues to rage.

Stamps House at the Toronto Convention Centre was rocking on Friday night.

Controversial receiver Nik Lewis made a cameo appearance with his mom Faye. She whisked him out of there before midnight.

Karyn Drake has also arrived in Hogtown. She says she'll be riding a local horse named Jasper on Sunday.

Mayor Nenshi is also here and spent some time flipping flapjacks with the Calgary Grey Cup committee at Nathan Phillips Square.

He was spouting sports clichs on Friday, saying the Stamps "should give a 110 percent and win one for the Nensh!"
