I really have never cared much for Silver because he comes across as somewhat arrogant. But, he isn't some hack on Twitter trying to make a name for himself. He has authored books, was the senior writer for SI when that magazine was in it's heyday, has won numerous awards, etc. Here is an article about him: MICHAEL SILVER @MikeSilver Full talent list... Michael Silver joined the NFL Network prior to the kickoff of the 2013 season serving as an NFL Insider.
He appears on a variety of NFL programs and writes columns for NFL.com. Silver is an award-winning journalist who has provided cutting-edge coverage of the NFL for nearly a quarter-century. Armed with a vast network of sources, provocative opinions and a gift for gaining access to the sport's most compelling figures, Silver is a multimedia personality whose columns, television analysis and radio interviews are consumed by millions of fans. After a long career in print journalism that included a 13-year run as a senior writer at Sports Illustrated, where he authored more than 70 cover stories, Silver took his talents to the worldwide web, joining Yahoo! Sports in 2007. During his six years at the site Silver wrote popular, branded columns such as Morning Rush, 32 Questions and Friday Offerings To the Football Gods, helping Yahoo! complete an unlikely jump to the top of the ComScore ratings. Among the recognition Silver received at Yahoo! was a second-place finish for 'Breaking News' in the Associated Press Sports Editors' annual writing contest-for the April 2012 story in which the infamous 'pay-for-injure' audiotape featuring former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was revealed. During his six years at the site, Silver regularly shook up the football world with compelling columns such as Dez Bryant's revelation of a controversial pre-draft interview with Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland, ex-Oakland Raiders assistant Randy Hanson's contention that head coach Tom Cable had physically attacked him and the 'near-mutiny' against Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh in a team meeting during the 2012 season. He also wrote several celebrated stories for GQ, including a 2011 article examining the NFL's growing head-trauma crisis and a 2012 detailing of Tim Tebow's polarizing string of performances for the Denver Broncos. After covering the San Francisco 49ers for a pair of Northern California newspapers and later becoming a Santa Rosa Press Democrat columnist, Silver joined Sports Illustrated in 1994 and made an immediate impact, authoring cover stories on Joe Montana's retirement and NBA bad boy Dennis Rodman's wild, unconventional lifestyle. He would write an unprecedented 13 consecutive Super Bowl game stories for the magazine and earn a reputation as a reporter with unmatched access to pro football's players, coaches and executives. In 2005 Silver toured New Orleans with then-Saints running back Deuce McAllister and Salvation Army officials several days after Hurricane Katrina. He is believed to have been the first outside sports journalist to enter the city after the catastrophe and wrote a trio of memorable stories about his experiences. Silver has authored books on NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice ('Rice'), NBA Hall of Famer Rodman ('Walk On The Wild Side'), former St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals star and current NFL Network analyst Kurt Warner ('All Things Possible') and Olympic swimming champion Natalie Coughlin ('Golden Girl'). He has been featured in movies such as 'Run Ricky Run' (part of ESPN's 30-for-30 series) and 'The United States of Football' and has appeared in numerous NFL Films productions, including the popular Top 10 series. He has been a regular contributor to NFL Network since 2010, most recently serving as a regular panelist on the Top 100 Reaction broadcasts. A proud graduate of the University of California, Silver has served on the school's Athletic Hall of Fame committee since 2007. Over the past eight years he has been a consistent advocate for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and other Type 1-related organizations. Silver lives in Northern California with his wife, Leslie, and their three children. In addition to watching his kids play sports, he enjoys sushi, bodyboarding and listening to extremely loud rock n' roll and hip-hop. http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/onairtalent/michael-silverI highlighted some relevant parts of the article. This is not some wanna-be dude who started talking about sports on twitter. He's a legit journalist. I don't like the dude, but acting like he is fabricating this story because he is "Hue's friend" is preposterous.

Well, at least one person is lying between Silver and Landry. Silver claims Landry did something and Landry said he didn't do what Silver "accused" him of doing.

I may have missed something, but the article I read doesn't back up your claim. Here is the part about Silver, Landry, Baker, and Duke. Jarvis Landry says Baker Mayfield and Duke Johnson can co-exist; with new OC Todd Monken it takes time
Updated Jun 14, 2019; Posted Jun 14, 2019
Jarvis Landry says Baker Mayfield and Duke Johnson can co-exist
48 shares
By Mary Kay Cabot, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Jarvis Landry believes reports about the rift between Baker Mayfield and Duke Johnson and a challenging start with offensive coordinator Todd Monken are overblown.
NFL Network’s Mike Silver reported on Thursday that several veterans approached Mayfield about his critical comments about Johnson, and that the parties cleared the air. He also reported that things haven’t gone as smoothly as expected with Monken, with Freddie Kitchens taking a larger role in the offense as a result.
false
Some Browns vets got on Baker Mayfield about his Duke Johnson remarks, according to report
Several Browns veterans voiced their displeasure to Baker Mayfield about his critical Duke Johnson remarks, according to Mike Silver of NFL Network.
Landry, who came out in support of Johnson last week at mandatory minicamp, said he wasn’t one of the veterans who approached Mayfield after his comments about Johnson. Mayfield said Johnson’s situation with the club in the wake of his trade request is “self-inflicted’’ and “it is what it is. It’s not awkward for anybody else in this building.’’
“It's a non-issue,’’ Landry said at his youth ProCamp Friday at Shaker Heights High School. “My relationship with Duke is always going to be the same. It's a non-issue."
He also believes Mayfield and Johnson can co-exist, even though Johnson’s agent’s husband, rapper Luther Campbell, clapped back at Mayfield.
"I don't think it would be difficult at all,’’ Landry said. “I say to you it's a non-issue, and it's not one that we are feeling any particular way about. It's something that is being blown up from [the media] more than it really is. No offense. I didn't mean it like that."
Mayfield added of Johnson’s desire to be dealt, “that’s something that we’ve been dealing with for a while. If we have guys that want to be here, they’ll show that, they’ll voice that. Obviously he’s going to handle his stuff how he wants, but you’re either on this train or you’re not, it’s moving. You can get out of the way or you can join us. So it is what it is.’’
Johnson worked hard in camp, looking as explosive as usual. But he’s fallen behind second-year pro Dontrell Hilliard on the depth chart, and will be even more expendable when Kareem Hunt returns from his suspension in Week 9. Full article here: https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2019/06...takes-time.htmlLandry did not call Silver a liar. He did not deny that vets met w/Baker. He said he thinks the media reports are "overblown," and a "non-issue." He said he thinks Baker and Duke can co-exist and that he is supporting Duke. Seems to me that Landry is taking the approach that Baker should have taken when questioned about a teammate by the media. He is trying to keep things in-house and isn't going to rip anyone on the team.

Please provide the link to where Silver said Landry did something and then provide the link where VG denied it ... no article i have read has said that ... they’ve said Silver said “some vets” have talked to Bake ... i’ve Never seen him mention VG specifically .... and VG said he thinks its way overblown in the media and never mentioned weather he was one of the vets that talked to Bake or not ... he also never mentioned Silver of denied anything ... saying he thins its overblown is not a denial that he talked to Bake ... there’s that 0 + 0 thing i was talking about .. *L* .... it appears YOUR TWISTING WORDS .... IF U can’t ... and i may have missed it but would love to see it as you’ve done this before and i let it slide ... if u can’t provide the link(s) ... This very well could be a FLAT OUT LIE ... your taking quotes and “changing” them from what they actually said into something that fits your narrative ... PROVE ME WRONG ... If not ... liar liar pants on fire .... *LOL* ... PS. Did i prove your point again ....  ...

And that's exactly what they should say. I don't think it's really a problem either and have said so several time throughout threads that have discussed this issue.
But even if it were, that's what they should say. Keep it in house, then there is nothing to argue about in the press.

That certainly doesn't mean it did or didn't happen, it's just that, he's the only one that says there even is an issue. Usually, there are players that speak out confirming such an issue, yet, outside of OBJ and Landry saying no bid deal, there is basically, nothing.

I just rewatched the clip to make sure i was remembering it right ...
I was wrong .. he did deny that he talked to Bake ... sorry about that ...
That still leaves one half of the equation to solve .. the IMPORTANT PART ..
When did Silver say Landry did anything? ...
Tick tock ..

Or you could just read the thread. I went through and read every article in the thread ... read every tweet in the thread ... watched the short snippet of VG’s interview .... only vid on the thread ... NOT ONCE did i read where Silver said VG talked to Bake .... NOT ONCE ... I did read many times that Silver said “some vets” went to Bake ... some vets does not equal VG ... 0 + 0 dawg ... lets start there ... *L* Unless u can provide a link that makes u a LIAR! I’d advise u to just stop digging at this point ... *L* ... say u mis read it and try and save some face ... unless u can provide the link thats all u got ... I did read this from one poster and thought it pretty much hit the nail on the head with his summary ...copied and pasted ... ... Jarvis Landry actually goes on record saying it's a non issue and Mike Silver comes out with unnamed sources ... Liar liar pants on fire ... *L* ... And to U and possibly the one other poster still reading this CRAP .... don’t mistake this for me agreeing with Vers that this could possibly be an issue ... I have no reason to think silver is lying while agreeing with VG its NO ISSUE what so ever ... Everyone knows how u feel about Bake and Vers does not hide how he feels ... we know what the score is dude ... IF anyone else is still reading this CRAP please let me know ... i usually check out of these long before this ... would be curious as to how many read it when discussions go to CRAPVILLE ...

There is no proof that he lied and I would like to see some proof to back-up that claim. And jfan, who you trying to kid...LOL.....you ain't buying in no matter what. [I'm saying that in a light-hearted way. Silver made the statements (or story), its up to him to prove he is telling the truth. That's how this things works - called journalism.

Mike Silver DID say Landry spoke to Baker... in a round-about way, of course. The whole article is written without fact, all hearsay. Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that "vets talked to Baker", as well they should if they think he overstepped the boundaries. Silver just said that he was "told by sources". He's not reporting a story, he's crafting one. Since he had no sources, he created one. You can call it lying or call it dirty journalism, take your pick. Bottom line, if he had sources he wouldn't have invented one... One of the Browns who approached Mayfield may have been receiver Jarvis Landry, who was supportive of Johnson.
“I still have a relationship with Duke,” he said. “I'm happy that he's here, it's good to see him, but outside of that, I hope it works out for us as the Browns and for him if that's the way that it goes. He's a tremendous talent and he's capable of making plays. I have no other say about what happens.” Lie? Not really, just carefully crafted language. The first part of the sentence says "One of the Browns who approached Mayfield", as if it's fact, the second part says may have been Jarvis Landry... Follow that up with a quote from Landry about Duke and BAM, in the eyes of the reader there is a beef between Baker and Landry. Landry said he didn't approach Baker because HE DIDN'T. Silver used the magic of language to create something from nothing and mislead the readers. At that point I just simply quit lending any credence to anything I read from the dude.

Has anyone else felt as if in order to sell papers or get clicks, it's almost like some reporters are interested in creating turmoil where perhaps none exists..
Maybe a vet talked to Baker, maybe not.. but why is it that every time something good happens, some one or group of someones come along to throw cold water on it.
All that aside, generally, I see a pretty happy and excited bunch of guys. All the team leaders seem to be of high spirit and all heads appear to be pointing in the same direct generally.
So much to be positive about... We have a QB... Geez, if nothing else, that's crazy exciting. We have a real RB.. Several in fact. We have some TE's. We have what looks like it could be a pretty decent Oline.
We have a Dline probably better than we've had in I don't even wanna guess how long.
Look at our DB's... One is already special, can another emerge? I think so.
We have a HC and Coaching staff with real creds..
And a GM that put it all together... and love him or hate him, we have an owner that got out of the way to let his people do their jobs.
There are always caveats,,,always.
But in the end,, what a great spot we appear to be in right now..
No reason to cry any blues..... Silver or MKC and any other cold water throwers be damned...

Agreed! But the problem is, the current QB and current coaching staff are not the ones that a lot of people hitched their horse too, and do not want to look foolish for the support they gave someone else. So they will do anything to tear this kid and coaching staff down - to cover their own foolishness. They would rather we suck and be right, than we be good and them wrong.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

That sounds a bit like they have a personal problem.. Not being able to let go of perceptions. I really believed in Hue, but that man was a total bust... what can I say. I was wrong.. wasn't the first time, won't be the last. Time to move on. Can you believe, I wrote all of that in my other post and forgot our WR's... OBJ, Landry, Calloway and Higgins....

It's funny how you, vers, and pit have a personal vendetta against me because i continue to prove you wrong. And that's all I have to say about that. Go troll someone else. Dude u pulled this same crap when u posted the pic of Debo talking to O’Brien the year AFTER Watson’s rookie year to prove Hue was a moron for not talking to Bake’s HC before his rookie year ... I went and looked at the date on the photo and it was from a YEAR AFTER WATSON’S ROOKIE SEASON .... it had zero relevance as far as talking to a college QB’s HC BEFORE there rookie season yet that is how u represented it ... is that technically a lie ... NOPE ... it was INTENTIONAL DECEPTION and in my book that equals a LIE ... your splitting hairs to say its not ... when u have to split hairs to justify your takes your almost always on the wrong side of the fence ... U defended yourself then by saying it wasn’t a LIE because it didn’t matter when the pic was taken EVEN THOUGH the fact it was taken after Watson’s rookie year made it COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to what we were talking about ... talking to your rookie QB’s college coach BEFORE HIS ROOKIE YEAR ... You pull this crap all the time ... i don’t FACT CHECK anyone unless they have a history of pulling this type of crap ... Fate defended U when trying to show how Silver said VG MAY HAVE BEEN one of the vets .... MAY HAVE is not an accusation its a “weighted” question ... i don’t agree with Fate’s math either ... u have to chop the sentence up and leave the words MAY HAVE BEEN out of it to make the case he actually accused VG ... he didn’t ... it does move your BS statement that one of them lied closer to the line .. but in no way does it back up SILVER ACCUSING VG ... Just like “some vets” witch is all I’d read up til this point does not equal VG ... “MAY HAVE BEEN” does not equal an accusation ... it’s more like a weighted question ... so when VG said he didn’t talk to Bake ... it wasn’t calling silver a liar it was him confirming he didn’t talk to Bake ... I HATE doing this ... it has zero to do with me disliking U ... i don’t dislike U ... i think your a douche when u do things like this but that don’t mean i dislike u ... i have close friends that do way more douche type stuf than u do ... *L* ... I’m out with u ... waste of time .. nothing to be gained by it other than board clutter at this point .. u come up with some new evidence and i will come back to APOLOGIZE to u .. other than that ... bye bye ... I do need to have a chat with Fate about his math now ... a convo i will look forward to with someone i just have a disagreement with and i don’t have to worry about the integrity of what he posts ... i will ask him a very pointed question but its not because i think he was trying to deceive anyone ... it’s cause something don’t add up in the quotes he used ... i need clarification on that ... then I’ll ask him to do me a favor when he writes his book ... or he may all ready be writing it .. i’ll ask him to not make statements that U have to parse into two parts to understand what the sentence actually means ... *LOL* ... IF your still reading this ... sorry fate .... i couldn’t resist ... *L* ... It’ll be an example to U that two dawgs can have a disagreement over something and talk about it like adults ... where winning the argument with deception/Lies isn’t the goal ... so u can go ahead and get your last deception or woe is me BS post in ... there’s a good chance i still won’t dislike u after that ... *L* ... C u again the next time u post DECEPTIVE/LIES ... til then .... LETS GOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo

don’t mistake this for me agreeing with Vers that this could possibly be an issue ... Diam, please don't allow what other posters are saying about what I am thinking to steer you away from the truth. I never said what Baker said was a big issue. I said that he should have kept it in-house and out of the media. I only continue to post about it because people are making things up and resorting to character attacks. I don't like Baker as a person and I've made that clear. However, I can separate what he does on the field from how he handles himself. I am going to say yet again. I don't think Baker calling out Duke was a huge issue. I just think he should have kept in in-house. Numerous former players have spoken out and said the same damn thing. But, no one wants to talk about the "truth" of that. Instead, they throw shade at other posters who don't agree w/them and Silver, while anyone who knows anything about professional sports knows that there were vets who almost certainly talked to him. Not in a mean way. Just a heads-up. And the bottom line here is that even if Silver was lying [and I don't think he did] it doesn't change the fact that Baker should never talked about this w/the media.

Didn't say he lied bro, said it was deceptive. Following with a quote form VG, after the carefully worded act of deception, just makes me respect him even less. No big deal, believe what you want. Again, this has little to do with the question of whether "vets talked to Baker"... I'm sure they did. Just kinda weak when a reporter throws in a quote that has nothing to do with the article to deceive readers into thinking there is some direct substance to what he's reporting. As far as my math skills, I'll throw down with you anytime - you can even use a calculator.

I'm not even going to read that. We discussed this... there were no lies. We both know that, but if you and your cronies want to continue your little game, apparently no one is going to stop you.

...I don't think Baker calling out Duke was a huge issue... Something that didn't happen cannot be a huge issue.

That sounds a bit like they have a personal problem.. Not being able to let go of perceptions. I That is a crock of crap. No one is fighting for Hue right now. We all moved on. It's just another insult by a poster who always resorts to such tactics. Don't believe his crap. Weird, I didn't name a single person in my reply, yet you automatically ASSumed it was about you. . . . . . That should tell you a lot.

#Browns WR @CALLME_WOOD on @BullandFox says with Baker Mayfield's wedding coming up, several guys will be in LA, will get together. "He's a vocal leader. He gets the team together at times. On the field, off the field, it really doesn't matter." https://twitter.com/KeithBritton86/status/1143981740148633600

Not me tabber ... not sure how much of your reply is directed at me and how much of it’s directed at your buddy ... heat of the battle my ass ... hes in mature at times and loses control of his emotions and has a temper .... unless someone loses control of his emotions over bake doing sumptin stupid and tries to hurt him it’ll be no biggie ... the words are harmless and the actions are other than throwing the football at a group that had their backs turned ... It doesn't mean its not in mature or cause he threw a temper tantrum ... He’s done it here also ... running by hue and staring .... throwing Hue under the bus when he was going at it with the media pundits .... Hue did not deserve to be dragged into that ... that was very Hue like ... *L* ... I also said he's a GREAT PERSON for all he does ... The fact he is one heck of a leader has zero to with his little BS outbursts ... Like i said up to this point its been no biggie and prolly never will .. but it doesn’t change the fact it shouldn’t be done ... The best part bro .... if Evan ran down the others teams sidelines grabbing his crotch like Bake did you’d of had a stern ass talk with him ... and u know if u didnt your wife damm well would ahve ... *L* ...... bro ... if he does anytime that stupid in the nfl he may get his head taken off or his knees taken out ... So far its no biggie ... and i’m sure it won’t as he grows ... but that don’t amke it right ...

So you're saying you don't make excuses for anything and everything he does? 
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

This should fit in here ..... https://twitter.com/i/status/1148311164679524353Duke Johnson is on the move -- from his agent. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Cleveland Browns running back moved on from his previous representation, Kristin Campbell of 40 Sports & Entertainment Group, and is currently without an agent. Normally players changing agents wouldn't be notable, but given that Johnson has unsuccessfully lobbied for a trade from the Browns, the move is an interesting choice for the pass-catching back. Johnson's desire to leave Cleveland after the Browns signed Kareem Hunt, who is serving an eight-game suspension to open the season, caused some minicamp waves in the locker room that the team hopes will blow over by the time training camp opens later this month. After Baker Mayfield's criticism of Johnson, Campbell's husband, Luther Campbell (famously known as Uncle Luke from 2 Live Crew) had some harsh words for the QB in defending Johnson. The Browns have expressed little desire to trade Johnson at this stage. Given Hunt's suspension, and the makeup of most teams at this time of the year, it's likely the Cleveland brass wouldn't get desirable compensation at this point. A likelier time for a deal could come during roster cuts, or even more likely, nearer the trade deadline, Oct. 29 (before Week 9 -- the Browns will have played seven games). It's unclear at this point whether the split with Campbell is about his trade request, and it's questionable whether new representation could help engineer a trade to acquiesce Johnson's desires. In any case, Johnson's offseason just took another interesting shift down the turnpike.
