PHILADELPHIA – DECEMBER 3: In this handout provided by the U.S. Coast Guard, running back Reggie Campbell #7 of the Navy Midshipmen runs for a touchdown during the 106th Army v Navy football game on December 3, 2005 held for the third consecutive year at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Midshipmen have won the past three Army-Navy battles to even the all-time series at 49-49-7. Navy has accepted an invitation to play in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego on December 22.

Red Alert Navy Football! 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 Navy Football! You made the list!
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. RAIDERS
Time to blow this team up. Baker Mayfield gave the final blow.
2. MIKE MCCARTHY
You did not have the Cowboys ready to play vs the Texans. Too late in the season to take anybody lightly!
3. RAVENS
Your playoff hopes are pinned on QB Anthony Brown!
4. BUCS
Looked sad and old in San Fran!
5. NAVY FOOTBALL
Firing coach Ken Niumatalolo is one thing. Firing him at his locker right after the OT loss to rival Army was bad form. Shame on the AD!
6. VLAD PUTIN
End the war Ass-Clown!
