Red Alert for teams facing Joe Burrow!! More on that in a moment. Red Alert is 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. MATT RYAN
Never mind your Super Bowl appearance and your MVP. The team that hired you just benched you with ten games to go. Your career is over.
2. NFL OFFICIALS
First it's roughing the passer. Now a long snapper can't look down between his legs! Get it together.
3. LAKERS
This team cannot shoot. So why are they taking so many three point shots???
4. LIONS
They last scored a TD on October 2nd vs the Seahawks
5. TEAMS FACING JOE BURROW
Burrow threw 2 touchdowns and 4 interceptions week one. Since then he's thrown 13 touchdowns and 1 interception. Up next: Browns, Panthers and Steelers.
6. PETE SHEPPARD FOR YOUR HURRICANES AND PATRIOTS
Life is miserable for you.
7. VLAD PUTIN
Stop the war Ass-Clown!
