NEW YORK JETS and AARON RODGERS you are on 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.
Red Alert NEW YORK JETS and AARON RODGERS 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. COLLEGE WORLD SERIES ERA'S
LSU gave up 24 runs Sunday and Florida gave up 18 runs Monday. Ouch!
2. COLORADO ROCKIES
Gave up 25 runs to the Angels on Saturday in a game where Shohei Ohtani went 1-7.
3. ROB MANFRED
The MLB Commish said he blew the entire Astros cheating scandal by giving players immunity. I told you that years ago.
4. LES MILES
Has to vacate 37 wins from his time at LSU for recruiting violations. Now his win percentage falls below .600 and he is no longer eligible for the HOF.
5. NEW YORK JETS AND AARON RODGERS
Looks like you will be forced to be on Hard Knocks.
6. PRO FOOTBALL TALK AND MIKE FLORIO
I hate the new website. It was great before. Change it back! Now.
7. VLAD PUTIN
End the war Ass-Clown.
