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 primadanna 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. JETS AND ZACK WILSON
Beware, Joe Flacco is looking good in practice following Wilson's injury.
2. MIKE MCCARTHY
17 penalties in first pre-season game.
3. FERNANDO TATIS SR. AND JR.
PED excuses seem fishy.
4. BILL BELICHICK
Says revolving OC play calling not a competition between Matt Patricia and Joe Judge. Yeah right!?
5. BRIAN KELLY
Miles Brennan didn't want to be a part of your "faaamuhleee."
6. VLADIMIR PUTIN
Stop the war ass-clown.
