Calgary's Naheed Nenshi bets Torontos Rob Ford that the Stamps are best

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has accepted a friendly Grey Cup wager proposed by Naheed Nenshi, telling the Calgary mayor in a cheeky Twitter message Monday: "Youll look great in Argo blue."

The Toronto Argonauts and Calgary Stampeders each won their division final games on the weekend and will square off for the CFL title Sunday at Torontos Rogers Centre in the 100th Grey Cup.

The online sparring between the two mayors began with a challenge issued Monday by Calgarys mayor, who is active on Twitter. In a Twitter message, Nenshi proposed a wager in which the mayor of the losing city must donate his weight in food to a food bank located in the victor's city.

Thelosing mayor must also wear the opposing teams jersey for an entire council meeting.

Ford, a sports fan who has been criticized for leaving council meetings to coach high school football, responded a few hours later by tweeting: "@nenshi Ill take the bet. You'll look great in #Argo blue!"
