RED ALERT Bills Fan ! 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.
And again, RED ALERT BILLS FAN ! You made the list!
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. BILLS FAN
You had your team penciled in the Super Bowl. Lofty expectations for sure. However, as I mentioned on the show: It is better to get knocked out now than to endure a fifth Super Bowl loss. Better luck next year!
2. MATTRESS MACK
You lost $3 million dollars betting on TCU. You lost $2 million dollars on the Cowboys. Oh, wait. You won $75 million dollars on the Astros. Never mind. You're good.
3. CHIEFS
Patrick Mahomes is great. But he's mortal on the football field with one leg.
4. GIANTS
Nice season. Now you have to decide if you will pay Danny Dimes market value north of $40 million dollars a year.
5. BRETT MAHER
Your blocked extra point wasn't going in. The 49ers did you a favor.
6. ZEKE ELLIOTT
You've had a nice career in Dallas. If Sunday was your last game there we will remember your last play; hiking the ball at center and getting trucked.
7. SHANNON SHARPE
You got awfully quiet when 6'-11" Steven Adams walked in your direction.
8. VLAD PUTIN
STOP THE WAR ASS-CLOWN!
