wow:
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- ESPN 850 personality Sabrina Parr is no longer working for the station.
Her swift dismissal came hours after making comments about Browns rookie safety Jabrill Peppers on "The Really Big Show" on Wednesday.
"He's not going to make it because he's on the Lean and the Molly," she told hosts Tony Rizzo and Aaron Goldhammer.
Lean is a drink made of promethazine with codeine, Sprite and Jolly Rancher candy. Molly is slang for Ecstasy.
Rizzo, clearly taken aback by Parr's statement, quickly came to Peppers' defense. "Can I ask why you guys are burying this kid already?" Rizzo said of the 25th overall pick in the NFL Draft. "I gotta be the one to stick up for him? I will. Give the kid a chance!"
But Parr persisted: "You shouldn't. I'm telling you, I've seen it first-hand, Rizz, from a different vantage point. It's the same thing all over again. How are you already high out of your mind and you've only been here for a week?"
The heated debate lasted nearly an hour, officially becoming absurd when Parr randomly, and without proof, accused All-Pro left tackle Joe Thomas of being "on the Lean, too."
Parr's allegations came during a discussion about Peppers being placed in Stage One of the NFL's drug program after testing positive for a dilute sample at the scouting combine in February. Players sometimes drink excessive amounts of water to hide drug use, but Peppers said at a press conference after the draft that he never failed a drug test in his life or been arrested.
Parr later posted on Twitter that she was misquoted and her comments were taken out of context, before deleting the tweet. She also posted she "never meant to imply Joe Thomas has any substance abuse issues."
"If you heard my comments about Joe Thomas and the Browns front office you would clearly know I was joking in that regard!" she wrote.
