This is the original PFT tweet, which is still up. This was during the preseason game:

King saw it and thought it was legit, posted it in his MMQB article (or whatever its called now) with some added commentary about how the Browns may or may not ask to take it out of the episode* and how it reveals major friction in the coaching staff. Intrepid Browns best reporter read it, tweeted "So this is gonna be a thing" shortly after the article posted. I wondered why NOW, since the quote was old and no one said anything about it. It blew up on local radio and someone apparently clued Peter King into the fact that the original tweet was a joke. Most of the tweets and article bits are down now, though the original joke quote seems to still be up.
*I've heard that the team can only review and excise parts of the show that reveal sensitive football information. Xs and Os discussion, stuff on whiteboards, etc. It's possible Peter King got this wrong too.
