WARM-UP

If you like to look on the bright side of life, consider this — if the Stampeders defeat the Toronto Argonauts tonight at McMahon Stadium, Calgary will not only pick up its first victory of the young season, the club will grab a share of second place in the West Division along with the BC Lions and Edmonton Eskimos.

Kickoff tonight at McMahon is at 7 p.m. If you’re coming out to McMahon, remember to bring your camera or camera-phone to snap some pictures and you could win a SIRIUS satellite radio.
