Missing the Point
Missing the Point is a sports podcast for fans who want real conversations, not recycled headlines.
We cover the NFL, NBA, MLB, WWE, and the biggest stories across the sports world. Boston teams lead the conversation, but we go wherever the story takes us. Patriots, Celtics, Red Sox, Bruins, league-wide drama, trades, drafts, injuries, coaching moves, media narratives. If fans are talking about it, we are too.
This show is built on honest debate. No scripted opinions. No manufactured outrage. No talking points handed down from a network. You get real reactions, real arguments, and real breakdowns of what actually matters in sports.
Every episode brings:
• Patriots talk from draft season to kickoff to playoffs
• Celtics breakdowns during the regular season and postseason
• Red Sox coverage from spring training through October
• Bruins talk when it matters most
• Full NFL coverage, including power rankings, free agency, and draft analysis
• NBA playoff races, trades, stars, and team futures
• Wrestling coverage for major events and storylines
• Sports media talk and bad takes that deserve to be called out
We don’t just say what happened. We explain why it happened and what it means next. We challenge narratives. We question front offices. We break down coaching decisions. We look at what teams are building toward, not just what they did yesterday.
You’ll hear debates that don’t end in fake agreement. If we disagree, we stay on it. If a take is bad, we call it bad. If a team earns respect, we give it.
Missing the Point is for fans who love the details. Fans who care about roster construction, coaching philosophy, player development, and how one move can change everything.
We talk like fans, but we think like analysts.
If you follow Boston sports, you’ll feel at home. If you follow any sport at all, you’ll find something every episode.
New episodes drop every week.

The Week the NFL Fell Apart, Mahomes and Parsons Out | NFL Week 16 Power Rankings
Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season is here, and the Missing the Point crew unloads on one of the most chaotic weeks the league has seen in years. Dave, Mike, Bobby, and Rayshawn break down the fallout from a Week 15 that completely reshaped the playoff picture and may have permanently altered multiple franchises.
It starts with the injuries. The ACL gods showed no mercy. Patrick Mahomes is done for the season, ending the Chiefs’ playoff hopes in brutal fashion. Micah Parsons goes down, ripping the heart out of Green Bay’s defense. Davante Adams, Devin Neal, and several other key contributors leave games early, forcing contenders to scramble as the season enters its final stretch. The crew debates whether this was bad luck, bad field conditions, or just the inevitable price of a longer and more violent NFL season.
Then comes the moment that broke everyone’s brain. Philip Rivers is back. The Colts are handing the offense to a quarterback who retired years ago, and the crew reacts with disbelief, laughter, and real football analysis. Is this desperation or genius. Can Rivers still read defenses. Can he survive a hit. And what does this say about the Colts’ confidence in the rest of their roster.
From there, the episode hits the Cowboys’ slow collapse, the Chiefs being mathematically cooked, the Ravens living dangerously on the playoff bubble, and the Panthers, Texans, and Steelers trying to survive December football. The Patriots winning streak came to an end, thanks to a dreadful defenseive preformance in the second half vs the Bills, while the Broncos continue to look like the most complete team in the league.
The episode closes with a full breakdown of the Real BK Top 10 Power Rankings heading into Week 16. Texans, Chargers, Jaguars, 49ers, Bears, Seahawks, Patriots, Bills, Rams, and Broncos. Every spot is debated, every rise and fall explained, and no team is safe from criticism.
If you want real NFL conversations, sharp humor, and power rankings that actually react to what happens on the field, this episode delivers.
