I have chatted at night with BigDogGreg on several occassions. He is from New Orleans. He is not one for hyping, pumping, bashing, or any other foolishness.
If he said that he talked to Melvin, and Melvin told him what he posted. Then I believe him.
After all, it is Melvin who has told us many times...Unless you read it in a PR; don't believe it.
