RED ALERT Joseph Ossai from the Bengals ! 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 Joseph Ossai ! You made the list!
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. PETE'S WIFE
Pete Sheppard does a horrible Marilyn Monroe "Happy Birthday" impression. It's his wife's birthday. I feel bad for her.
2. 49ERS QB SITUATION
Trey Lance, Jimmy G., Brock Purdy, Josh Johnson. Who's taking the first snaps next year? Not Tom Brady!
3. NFL OFFICIALS
Worst season for them ever. Plus the Chiefs got an extra down in the playoffs. Brutal.
4. NBA OFFICIALS
Can we get rid of the unwritten rule that we swallow the whistles at the end of games. A foul is a foul. And BTW, calm down Lebron.
5. BRONCOS
For a while it seemed liked nobody wanted to coach this team/quarterback.
6. THE BENGALS JOSEPH OSSAI
It's going to be a long off season for this guy. You don't touch a QB when he is out of bounds with the season on the line. EVER!
7. VLAD PUTIN
Stop the war Ass-Clown!
