DAYTONA 530 RED ALERT ! I will explain in a moment. 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.
And again, Daytona 530 Red Alert ! You made the list! Let's see who else did!
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. BROOKS KOEPKA
Took LIV money but has second thoughts and wants to return to the PGA. Yikes.
2. NBA ALL-STAR GAME
Low hanging fruit but a team had 99 points at the half!
3. NY JETS
You let Derek Carr out of the building without a deal.
4. DANIEL JONES' AGENT
Danny Dimes is dropping the agent at CAA that has been with him since he was drafted. Just in time for his big payday!
5. DAYTONA 500.
Due to all the late wrecks, the Daytona 500 ran 12 extra OT laps and became the Daytona 530. Bad product.
6. VLAD PUTIN
STOP THE WAR!
