Coach Prime attended North Fort Myers high school before starring at Florida State University. He played baseball for the Yankees, Braves, Reds and Giants in addition to playing cornerback in the NFL for the Falcons, 49ers, Cowboys, Commanders and Ravens. He is a two-time Super Bowl champion and hall of famer. Sanders is currently the University of Colorado head football coach.
Coach Prime Red Alert ! One of my favorite radio segments on the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida is RED ALERT every Tuesday at 3:30ish! That's where we put people, teams or situations on BLAST because they deserve to be ripped. (I also like the missile launch sound effects that Chris plays from the other side of the glass!)
Common targets are prima danna athletes who are unaware of their social surroundings. It is our duty to point out their public deficiencies.
Other targets can be coaches who make bonehead decisions or team owners and general managers who drive their fans nuts. It is our job to set the world straight, at least during our ten minute segment.
Since we've been doing this segment for a while, I also enjoy how the texters like to add their nominations to the list. Add your Red Alert via text at 239-337-ESPN.
Also, in case you are new to the show, RED ALERT blasts do NOT have to come from the world of sports. In fact, as of late, we like to close the segment by ALWAYS blasting Russian President Vladimir Putin just because. However, I should note that our show goes to painstaking lengths to avoid divisive politics at all costs.
Coach Prime Red Alert for starters! You made the list! Let's see who else did!
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. BOSTON CELTICS
Somebody needs to take control at the end of games. Brutal.
2. BOSTON BRUINS
65 wins and a President's Trophy down the toilet.
3. PETE SHEPPARD'S PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
He doubled down on how they'd choke. And yet, they did not!
4. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Don't get too excited about D'Andre Swift. He might play 12 games for you this season.
5. PHOENIX SUNS
It's the post-season and Chris Paul is hurt again.
6. DEION SANDERS
It's Coach Prime's right to clean house at Colorado. But give your kids some practice film on their way out dude.

Stop the war Ass-Clown!
