ESPN Cleveland radio reporter Tony Grossi has been suspended indefinitely for using a derogatory term to describe Baker Mayfield, the station announced Tuesday.

Grossi referred to Mayfield as a "f------ midget" at the end of a tirade that criticized the 24-year-old relative to other quarterbacks the Browns could have acquired since the franchise drafted the former Heisman Trophy winner first overall in 2018.

"[Carson] Wentz, [Deshaun] Watson, [Patrick] Mahomes and now [Joe] Burrow," Grossi said. "And who do we got? A f------- midget."

Mayfield is listed at 6' 1"just one inch shorter than Watson and two inches shorter than Mahomes.

I don't get it... None of those QB's were in his draft class.

Shoulda grabbed his crotch. They'd have to give him a Heisman.

A local radio guy did a radio bit for publicity?

Mayfield has been bad despite having very good skill talent around him.

looks like a classic college QB that threw into wide, wide open windows...created by the scheme. And those things don't exist in the NFL

Poorly worded article, because only one of those guys could have been drafted after Mayfield.
