Red Alert Dr. Jill Biden ! (THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT. IT IS A SPORTS STATEMENT!!). 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.
Red Alert Dr. Jill Biden ! You made the list! Let's see who else did!
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. DR. JILL BIDEN
You invited both the Iowa and LSU women's basketball teams to the White House! There are no participation trophies in grown up sports. LSU and Angel Reese won. They get to visit. Just them. Period!
2. PETE SHEPPARD
While in Houston for the Final Four he had planned to see the White Sox at Astros on his free day Sunday. He did not go because it looked like it might rain. Minute Maid Ballpark has a roof. Enough said.
3. PAIGE SPIRANAC HATERS
Stop hating on her social media golf tips. They are fun.
4. BRYSON DECHAMBEAU
Still doesn't regret statement that he plays Augusta National like it's a par 67.
5. LA ANGELS
First, they announce their radio team will not travel to road games to save costs. Then they fire a baseball analyst from their flagship station because he was too critical.
6. VLAD PUTIN
End the war Ass-Clown. This is getting old.
