PowerBall 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.
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.
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. POWERBALL
Why the delay? You just need 6 pingpong balls in a tube! This on the same day that election ballots need to be counted, a full moon and lunar eclipse is scheduled, and a potential hurricane is brewing off the east coast. Today should be a great day!
2. VEGAS
You just lost $75 million dollars to Mattress Mack!
3. VEGAS Part II
...as in the Raiders!
4. THE COLTS
First they fired their QB, then the OC, now the Head Coach. What's next?? This dumpster fire was supposed to win the AFC South.
5. THE U
Miami just lost to FSU, their former arch rival, 45-3.
6. BILLS MAFIA
You not only lost to the Jets but Josh Allen has an elbow problem.
7. VLAD PUTIN
End the war Ass-Clown!!
