USMNT RED ALERT ! 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: USMNT Red Alert !
So let's dial it up! Enjoy this week's RED ALERT!
1. NFL
The league does not know what blocking in the back is. See: Jets - Patriots.
2. ZACK WILSON
"No." As in, he has no accountability.
3. MATT STAFFORD
DUDE! Two concussions in three weeks. Plus your wife had brain surgery. You know the risks moving forward. You have a ring, money and a HOF jacket waiting for you. Step down.
4. BRONCOS
Ha ha! You just lost to the Raiders! Let's Ride!
5. COWBOYS FAN
40-3 was impressive. But it feels like Fool's Gold.
6. FLORIDA GATORS
You should not lose to Vandy. Ever!
7. TEXAS A&M
Sorry Jimbo. A 17 point win at home vs UMass feels like a loss.
8. USMNT SOCCER.
We waited 4 years...................... for a draw. Good luck vs England!
9. VLAD PUTIN
End the war dork-face!
