At the end of the show, every week, Tom or Ray gives credit to Dave “Calves of Belleville” Green. Ok, he does some good work for the show, but why does he have that name? / czar45

I did a quick search and Dave is a cyclist. He has competed/participated in Massachusetts state wide challenge races. As a cyclist, he has built up his calves substantially, I assume, hence is nickname.
