Dolphins fan 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.
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 beware: Dolphins Fan Red Alert !
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. JOSH MCDANIELS
You lost to Jeff Saturday and the Colts.
2. GERMANY
Next time the NFL arrives can we get some better stadium music than John Denver please??

Still making bad play calls in Lambeau. (OK, that was a cheap shot).
5. ILLINOIS FOOTBALL
You were ranked pretty high. But you lost to Indiana and Purdue. Season ruined.
6. DOLPHINS FAN
Tap the breaks on the Super Bowl! Your four game winning streak is against the Steelers, Lions, Bears, and Browns. In 3 of those 4 games your average margin of victory is 4 points! Before that winning streak you lost 3 straight to the Bengals, Jets, and Vikings. with the average margin of defeat 14 points. Let's see how you do with three straight games on the road against good teams at SF, LAC, and Buffalo.
7. VLAD PUTIN
End the war Ass-Clown!
