Her comeback stint was short-lived.
Parr was fired yesterday after comments made during the show earlier in the morning where she said that new Browns draftee Jabril Peppers was on “the lean and molly” and “high out of his mind” during his first week in Cleveland. Whether or not that’s true is beside the point: You can’t say that stuff on the radio. WKNR is, of course, a radio partner with the Cleveland Browns, broadcasting games and the drippy, team-sponsored dreck known as Cleveland Browns Daily.
Anyway, the relevant audio from yesterday’s show is below.
A Cleveland Browns spokesperson hasn’t returned messages seeking comment on whether the team contacted the station and/or a response to Parr’s claims.
Rizzo, otherwise, opened the show talking about the incident, saying he and Goldhammer have different ideas on how The Really Big Show should op erate, and then, according to Kevin Kleps, transitioned into some Browns cheerleading.

ESPN Cleveland is home to hideous local programming, with lazy hosts spouting “opinions” which seemingly plop out of their mouths after live ad reads, scheduled breaks and scarfing down free food. “Disco” Tony Rizzo’s opening monologue made it sound as if he stumbled into the studio while Sabrina Parr (being egged on by the ghoulish Aaron Goldhammer) slandered Jabrill Peppers and Joe Thomas. Rizzo must have forgotten that it’s his show. But nothing will tangibly change as long as the joint is operated by an absentee owner and advertisers do not believe that their bottom line will take a staggering hit by being associated with such garbage,.
With quality programming like that, it’s no wonder they’re charging customers $8.50/mo for a product that’s normally and clearly should be free. Genius!
Haha who honestly listens to that station anymore to hear it?
At least marble mouth Munch is gone. He shouldn’t be allowed near a microphone.
I’d pay $8.50 to listen to the meeting where the station owner fires Hammer for yet another dumb station idea. Many in Cleveland would love to hear that so even if they get a little less than 0.01%, they’ll still make $30k+. That’s money well spent if you ask me.
I was listening and it was absurd. Tony Rizz is losing credibility and should have had foresight to anticipate sensational sports player narratives with Sabrina wasn’t responsible idea for the show. Station appears to be running out of creative ideas for programming. The results is degradation of content for city that should have major players with quality broadcasting given how well the teams are doing and the fantastic, dedicated fans.
Parr should not be the only one fired goldhammer should have been fired along time ago wknr has hit an all time low
That station blows. I mean REALLY BLOWS. They make the kids at WCSB look like Edward R Murrow (no offense CSB … you guys are my ‘go to’)
I’ve actually tuned in to the knr station where there was over 10 minutes of dead air IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY! Just for the eff of it, I finally called their corp offices (in some place like Milwaukee or something) to let some gooifball know – they are, I swear’ta’god some kind of CATERING COMPANY – and after about 6 more minutes the station came back on.
Ha! This is the fascinating shit you have time to do when you’re a musician and you get up at noon!
Goldhammer encouraged and agreed with everything Sabrina said. He also goes on and on about Sabrina ” dating ” every player on the Brown’s roster. He is a misogynistic pig.
I hope Sabrina sues him for what he has said about her on the air. Goldhammer loved and fed the fire of that conversation. He should be fired
Both Tony and Aaron could have shut that conversation down in a second if they had wanted to. They both knew better. Sabrina did not know – she is not a professional broadcaster.
Tony And Aaron are the ones who were in charge, and they blame a neophyte young woman for singlehandedly taking over an hour of the show. The responsibility of what is on air lies at the feet of Rizzo and Goldhammer.
I am not saying Sabrina was right. I am saying The Really Big Show hosts are the ones responsible because they egged Sabrina on, and loved every minute of what the ALLOWED her to say on air.
This is what you get when you listen to this – a circus. Maybe some people like this, but I personally don’t and would rather listen to anything else besides this garbage. I also don’t care to listen to someone who says they will mow me down with their car while I’m at a parade sarcastically celebrating my team’s ineptitude.
Rizz izz an alcoholic spouse abuser and should be booted off the airwaves and out of town. Never heard this chick because I don’t listen to AM much anymore, but I gotta tell ya, long blonde hair on African-American females is NOT a good look.
And she’s not the only one. That mush-mouthed weekend third-string weatherperson on Channel 3, Janessa Webb, is an even better example. I change the channel, or just forego the weekend forecast entirely. She is truly awful.
With her too-long, shiny blonde hair, her fleshtones,, and the colors of her outfits, she’s completely ORANGE. It’s not my TV set, either. It’s HER. Absolutely hideous. And so nervous, that when she talks, you’d think it was her first day on-camera. And she also has a good face for radio.
What are all these radio and TV human resources people thinking? Really…what ARE they thinking? Or smoking? Can’t they find anyone better? All the newbies STINK! Most of what is passes for local media talent these days, with a few major outstanding exceptions, is terrible. Especially the new hires.
Every week, a new face that doesn’t cut the mustard, and soon disappears. The sad truth is, Cleveland is no longer a major-league broadcast market. Cleveland is just a tryout town. Strictly Double A.

OOPS…sorry…MAJOR MISTEAK…
Janessa is not on NBC-3…she’s on Chanel No. 5…but she still stinks, though…
