Overenthusiastic World Cup Announcers are on Red Alert!  I will explain why later.  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:  Overenthusiastic World Cup Announcers !

So let’s dial it up! Enjoy this week’s RED ALERT!

Craig Shemon

  • 1. MINNESOTA VIKINGS

    You might be 10-2 but Vegas puts you at a point and half underdog in Detroit this week!

  • 2. 49ERS!

    It looked so promising.  Then Jimmy G got hurt.  Now it’s up to Mr. Irrelevant.

  • 3. BUCS FANS

    Last night was great against the Saints.  But Tampa still cannot score 20 points in a game.

  • 4. MATT RYAN

    You were the sole reason your team got shredded 33-0 in the 4th quarter in Dallas.

  • 5. BILL BELICHICK

    You said it was too hard to make any major changes this late in the season!  What?  You’re BILL BELICHICK!

  • 6. CHRIS BEASLEY AND THE DOLPHINS

    You chastised me for suggesting the Dolphins could not score 30 on the 49ers defense.  You scored 17.  Craig right again!  As usual!  Still waiting for the apology.

  • 7. COLORADO FOOTBALL PLAYERS

    Coach Prime said pack your bags!

  • 8. OVERENTHUSIASTIC WORLD CUP ANNOUNCERS!

    The TV announcers raise their voices any time a US soccer player kicks the ball in the direction of the goal even if they are 45 feet away.  They act like it is a shot on goal.  RELAX!

  • 9. OVERENTHUSIASTIC WORLD CUP ANNOUNCERS PART II

    Someone said 2026 is right around the corner.  No it is not.  It’s still 2022 and this year’s World Cup is not over.  Again, RELAX!

  • 10. VLAD PUTIN

    End the war Ass-Clown!
