Red Alert Rory McIlroy !
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 Rory McIlroy for starters! You made the list! Let’s see who else did!
So let’s dial it up! Enjoy this week’s RED ALERT!
1. RORY MCILROY
It’s now been a decade since his last major win. And he can’t putt.
2. BRITISH OPEN FANS
For heckling Brian Harman while he dominated the Open instead of appreciating his talent. This wasn’t the Ryder Cup.
3. JET SKIER WHO INJURED BILLS RB NYHEIM HINES
You ended his season and cost him 3 million dollars due to his non-football injury.
4. CHEIFS KADARIUS TONEY
ANOTHER soft tissue injury.
5. BRONCOS DE EYIOMA UWAZURIKE
Suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL policy on gambling. I hope he won.
6. VLAD PUTIN
Stop the war Ass-clown and stop blowing up food grain bins. You are starving people.
