Red Alert Dallas Mavericks ! 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 Dallas Mavericks ! You made the list! Let's see who else did!
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. PURDUE BASKETBALL
Over-rated. See: Indiana 79 - Purdue 74
2. JOE MIXON
We have video of you assaulting a girl at Oklahoma. Third and fourth chances are hard to come by. Stop Pointing your gun at people and enjoy your life.
3. RAVENS
Reports say the Ravens and QB Lamar Jackson are $100 million apart!
4. RUSSELL WILSON
No quarterback guru/friend at the facility under Sean Payton. Just players and coaches.
5. PACKERS
After Aaron Rodgers is done with golf and shrooms he's into Astrological Immersion. Maybe the stars will tell him where to play next season.
6. MARK CUBAN AND THE DALLAS MAVERICKS
Kyrie Irving is on your team. That is all!
7. CHINA
Stop flying balloons over our country.
8. VLAD PUTIN
Stop the war Ass-Clown!
