The Giants aren't tough enough if their quarterback thinks he can swing in a training camp fight

I don't think that the New York Giants are tough enough if their quarterback is thinking that he's even able to swing on him... I say that I don't think that the New York Giants are tough enough if their quarterback is thinking that he's even able to swing on him.

Whether a team is 'tough enough' is purely subjective and can't be proven by a single training camp fight.

Dan Campbell is the most 'football guy' to ever coach in the NFL

Dan Campbell, man Campbell. He's alpha-ed the entire ranks of every – he's the most football guy to ever coach in the NFL, I think. He's starting to blur the line where he's no longer really a football guy. He's just kind of a football.

The definition of a 'football guy' is a specific PMT trope, and Campbell has become the poster child for it.

I'm legitimately excited for the Bulls after the Caruso, Lonzo Ball, and DeRozan signings

The Bulls are back. They have gotten very aggressive. Caruso, Lonzo Ball, and now DeMar DeRozan all in the Bulls next year. I'm actually legitimately excited.

Big Cat is expressing a personal feeling of excitement, which is subjective.

Once the Lakers get to the playoffs, it will be Carmelo Anthony's team, not LeBron James'

I'm also rooting for the takes to start flying because when you have that many guys on a team, it's no longer LeBron James' team. I think once they get to the playoffs, it's Mello time, baby.

The 2021-22 Lakers failed to even make the play-in tournament, and it was never 'Mello time' in any meaningful playoff sense.

Alex Caruso is a top-five player in the Eastern Conference

Caruso is legitimately, I think, now a top five player in the East.

Caruso has never made an All-NBA or All-Star team; he is objectively not a top-5 player in the Eastern Conference.

Olympic runners are breaking world records because there are no fans to suck the oxygen out of the stadium

If there's no crowd at all, does that mean that there's more oxygen for the people to breathe on the track? ... They're sucking all the oxygen out normally, but when there's no fans there, it's a richer environment for especially distance runners to be able to breathe more efficiently.

The presence of fans in an open-air stadium does not significantly deplete oxygen levels for athletes. Records were likely due to new shoe technology and track surfaces.

The 49ers are only saying Jimmy Garoppolo is playing well to pump his trade value before sending him to the Colts

John Lynch went on Adam Schefter's podcast, said that Jimmy is playing his best football since he's been here, which sounds to me like a general manager pumping a guy up before they send him somewhere else, maybe to a place like Indianapolis.

Garoppolo remained with the 49ers for the entire 2021 season and was not traded to the Colts.

The U.S. women's soccer team sucks at soccer now

My hot seat is the U.S. women's soccer team because they lost and we stink... I tweeted about like, oh, we suck at soccer now.

This is a subjective emotional reaction to a loss; the team remains one of the top-ranked in the world, though they did fail to win gold.

You need at least $50 million in the bank to successfully use your parents' wealth to get out of jail

He was screaming like, my parents have $2 million. That's a lot of money, but it's also not like... I feel like if you're trying to get out of jail for free, your parents have to have like $50 million.

This is a matter of opinion on social dynamics and wealth thresholds.

Matthew Stafford will make the Hall of Fame if he wins a Super Bowl or has several consecutive winning seasons with the Rams

It all depends how much longer Matthew intends to play. And if he gets that ring out, he's out there. You know, if he goes out there and lights it up and has consecutive, like three, four or five consecutive winning seasons, even if he don't win the Super Bowl, I think he has a chance.

Stafford won the Super Bowl that same season (Feb 2022). While his HOF entry is pending his retirement, he met the criteria Calvin set.

The NFL referees definitely have it out for the Detroit Lions

I don't know how many times I've said that, but... I don't want to say that and be wrong, but, I mean, everybody felt like that in Detroit. It's hard not to feel like that... Yeah, they got it out for us.

Officiating bias is subjective and impossible to prove definitively across all of NFL history.

Al Harris was the toughest cornerback I faced because of his nastiness at the line of scrimmage

I'll give you two guys. When I first came in the league, nobody liked playing Al Harris... halfway through the game, they're switching over to me... as far as the aggressiveness that I came with, you know, to fight at the line of scrimmage, it was all tailored after playing against Al Harris.

This is Calvin's personal assessment of his opponents and his own development.
