Red Alert Cowboys Kicker ! 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: Red Alert Cowboys Kicker ! You made the list!
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. BRETT MAHER
Cowboys kicker missed 4 extra points this weekend in a playoff game. He missed 5 straight dating to the previous week vs Washington. Yikes.
2. CHARGERS
How do you blow a 27-0 lead in the playoffs?!
3. KIRK COUSINS
Throwing a short pass on 4th and long to end the game is not going to change the rap on him that he struggles in Prime Time.
4. JIM HARBAUGH
We can't flirt with the NFL every year. Pick a side.
5. TOM BRADY
It looks like it's over.
6. JALEN DUREN
Detroit Pistons youngster lost his passport and could not travel with the team for its game in Paris.
7. VLAD PUTIN
STOP the war Ass-Clown!
