Codeine syrup, also known as purple drank, lean or sizzurp, typically contains codeine and promethazine, ingredients found in prescription cough syrup. ESPN's "Outside the Lines" just did a feature on the beverage. It's said to make those who abuse it feel drowsy, weak and in an "altered level of consciousness."

Perhaps not coincidentally, the Oakland Raiders released Russell because he always played as if he was drowsy, weak and in a state of altered consciousness"

Now that is funny!!!!
