Cleveland Once A Week Radio Personality Fired - Accused Peppers of Drug Use
Sabrina Parr during her "participation" of a broadcast on ESPN 850 in Cleveland accused Peppers of being on the "lean and molly" and that he's "high all the time". The YouTube link to the show with said statements is included within the article.
The best part is when she claims to have been "misquoted" on Twitter, to which another person responds "you can't be misquoted on the radio, it's literally your own voice saying those words".
Lean = Promethazine couh syrup mixed with pop or juice.
Molly = Purest form of MDMA or Ecstacy

EDIT: Fixed a few spelling errors
EDIT EDIT: Changed the title to reflect Ms. Parr's accurate job title and affliation with said broadcast as the MGoCommunity can be, as my students put it "petty".
What a nut job
People in positions a lot more important than sports reporter about topics a lot more important than Julius Peppers recreational habits say stuff without evidence all the time. And a frightening number of people believe them.
Julius Peppers wasn't mentioned. However:
- "Lean" is more commonly known as "Drank" (you may recall me from Sippin' on Purple)
- Drank was mentioned by the "reporter" as one of Jabrill Peppers's preferred substances*
- You can make Drank by mixing cough syrup with an Orange Julius
- Orange is one of the colors on the Browns' jerseys
So I think I see where you were headed, and how it's all connected!
*Recklessly, and without evidence.
I greatly appreciate being skewered for my stupidity in such a creative way. Believe it or not I stared at Julius Peppere after I typed it and said to myself - something is wrong here - still couldn't figure out what it was. I'm way to young to be having senior moments.
Anyone who is in DC this week is entitled to be a bit addled! Assuming your user name is accurate, you have plenty of cover.
Without straying into the politics of it, it's fair to say it's been a ... busy week in our nation's capitol.
lol completely agree. It's chaotic here for ...reasons.
That made me laugh. I may have to steal it (or a variant of it) on those occasions when I can't hold myself back from commenting on something on Mgoblog that might cross into that topic that shall not be discussed on Mgoblog.
And it is an "interesting" time to work in DC
I'm glad there is some accountability there.
How did someone with such an utter lack of class get hired on the radio?
Sports Talk Radio - The Paragon of Class.
jobs.
She used to sleep with one of the players on the Browns, and used the connections she forged during that time to gather gossip.
Well, Jemele Hill now has her own tv show, so there's that.
That would actually stregthen the victim angle, that he failed the test due to rec drugs rather than PEDs
It was a diluted sample - basically he drank too much water. Big, humongous difference!
She tried to out Jemele Hill Jemele Hill. Never ever try to out Jemele Hill Jemele Hill!
Glad to see this dope suffer for her stupidity. Hopefully she learns a lesson from this, and changes her approach. ("I was misquoted" on radio is just ... wow.)
Never go full Jemele
Remember Sabrina Parr? 2017 Jabrill On Lean? Went full Jemele. Went home empty handed.
ESPN seems to think full Jemele is a primetime must....ugh
Tropic Thunder is an all-timer in my book.
well, she did succeed in making a name for herself, however briefly
with the awesome result of setting her career back a few years as well
With the way that industry is shedding employees, I'm guessing it will be more than a few years.
I can assure you she has never had a career in radio or as a reporter.
only leads to enhanced standing/recognition. In pop culture, unless your statements are about very specific taboo things, this kind of publicity typically enhances the person's public profile. Sad, but that is where we are at. Merica!
Knows no bounds.
That moment when you try to ruin someone's professional career before it begins, but you ruin your own instead.
...of blowback. Ought to teach this one in school.
It wouldn't have mattered who the player was; that was just irresponsible to say that without any other evidence.
She can come clean my fish tank if she needs a job.
/s
This stuff wouldn't happen. Its just unlogical hate from OSU fans. Living in Cbus its really funny to hear Browns fans losing their minds over this.
I listen to Riz every morning, he is first and foremost a BROWNS fan regardless of where the player came from. He was a huge proponent of drafting Peppers.
Sabrina is a bit player on the show, yesterday was the first time I had heard her on the air in months.
This wasnt something where there was a media firestorm and they were forced to fire her. It happened yesterday, and Riz fired her the following morning.
Riz's sidekick on the show also hates Ohio State, the problem is he's the biggest douchebag on the planet and I hate him.
His teams are the Lions, Browns and Texans. It's like banging your head against the wall 3 times a day.
The youtube mashup on OPs link was painful. Her co-hosts were clearly uncomfortable with what she was saying.
Lol why try to stoke controversy when ESPN is ACHING for a reason to fire people...
Because you're sippin lean while on molly?
She sounds like a know it all dumb ass. Glad they canned her.
If she wasn't fired for her wild accusations, it would almost certainly be for her stupidity and incompetence afterwards. How in the hell can you be misquoted on the radio when it is literally you saying those words into the microphone for everyone to hear? Nothing more than a pathetic attempt to save her job.
She deserved to be fired, and will probably be out of a job for a while. How deliciously ironic that she tries to ruin someone else's career but ends up ruining her's instead. Zero fucks given for her and her dilemma.
Here's the rather hilarious exchange mentioned by the OP:

i cant wait till he is out of that shit town. next contract he is gone
That's at least 4 years away, and you don't know that for certain. He's going to perform at a high level and the bullshit criticism from all angles will probably subside.
If that's possible.
It's not...
I think the real question is whether it's possible to have an uncrappy version of Jemele Hill.
Keep swinging
An less crappy version of Jemele Hill is pretty much like a less ruthless version of Genghis Khan or a less musically-gifted version of Mozart or a less trashy version of a Boren-spawn.
