I wouldn't be shocked at all.But if that were the case, Silverstein should have been more cautious before tweeting out specific language like that. That was a pretty bold usage of words. Whatever his source was, he should have been more careful about saying that without vetting the source, because he's been around long enough to know that that's just the sort of seed an agent might plant to stir up some excitement about contract talks and get the fans yelling "get this done, pay the man, don't let him get away!"If Silverstein manages his own Twitter account (which is highly likely), then he had final control over that verbiage. I've always liked Silverstein, but this is disappointing. He kind of let one get away here. It looks like the rumor got snuffed out pretty quickly, but if I were Silverstein, I'd be a feeling a little bit sheepish.Journalism isn't what it used to be. It's no longer about being the first guy to get it right; too often it's about being the first guy to get the headline. Friggin' internet, and the 10-second attention span.</blockquote>
