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.

Philip Rivers Is Back • NFL Week 15 Power Rankings • Cowboys Collapse Again
The whole crew is back as Week 15 arrives. Dave, Mike, Bobby, and Rayshawn react to one of the strangest NFL stories in years. The Colts are bringing back Philip Rivers. The crew explains why Indianapolis turned to a quarterback who last played when TikTok was still optional and why this move could change the AFC playoff race.
New England stays on top. Ten wins in a row. The Patriots look like a complete team. The crew breaks down Drake Maye’s growth, Vrabel’s command of the roster, and the defense that keeps winning important downs. They also look at how the Patriots match up with the Broncos, Bills, and Rams as the postseason gets closer.
Dallas hits another wall. The Lions knock them down again. The crew debates whether the Cowboys have any real chance to sneak into the playoffs or if this season has reached the point of no return. Detroit looks confident, physical, and built for December football.
Cross offs expand again as the Jets, Titans, Saints, Raiders, Cardinals, Giants, Commanders, Falcons, and Vikings all fall fully out of the playoff picture. The crew debates which bubble teams are next and which ones still have a small chance to survive.
Every team in the Real BK Power Rankings gets a clear breakdown. The Chargers and Jaguars keep pace. The 49ers, Bears, and Packers remain dangerous. The Seahawks, Bills, and Rams climb at the right time. The Broncos keep winning close games. The Patriots stay at number one with a complete roster and real momentum.
This episode gives sharp analysis, clear opinions, and quick humor as the league heads into the final stretch of the season.
