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.

Week 14 NFL Power Rankings, Coaching Hot Seat Chaos, Patriots at No. 1 Again
This week on Missing the Point, Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly deliver a full, detailed breakdown of the NFL landscape as Week 14 of the 2025 season begins. This is one of the most in-depth power-ranking episodes of the year, packed with analysis of team performance, quarterback play, coaching decisions, playoff odds, and the shifting tiers across the AFC and NFC.
Dave and Bobby open with the NFL Coaching Hot Seat Rankings, a list shaped by performance, roster construction, and midseason collapses. Pete Carroll leads the list after another stagnant week from the Raiders. Jonathan Gannon remains under pressure in Arizona. Raheem Morris faces major questions in Atlanta after another disappointing loss. Kevin Stefanski’s offense continues to underperform in Cleveland. Zac Taylor rounds out the five as Cincinnati searches for stability with Burrow returning. They also break down honorable mentions including Mike McDaniel, Mike Tomlin, and Jim Harbaugh and what each needs to do to stay off the list.
The show moves into the official MTP Cross-Off List, covering teams already eliminated from serious playoff discussion: Jets, Titans, Saints, Dolphins, Browns, Raiders, Cardinals, Giants, and Commanders. Dave and Bobby explain why each team reached this point, focusing on quarterback regression, defensive breakdowns, coaching issues, and roster health. They follow with possible Week 14 cross-offs such as the Falcons, Vikings, Bengals, Steelers, and Chiefs, with a segment on how late-season collapses start and what trends signal a team is finished.
Dave and Bobby then break down the biggest stories of Week 13 and how they reshape the league entering Week 14. They evaluate every major contender:
• Why the Patriots continue to look like the best team in football, powered by Drake Maye, Mike Vrabel’s discipline, and a top-five defense
• How the Bears have become one of the NFC’s most complete teams with wins over the Eagles and a rising defense
• A look at why the Broncos keep winning tight games and whether they’re built for playoff football
• The Rams’ surprising loss to Carolina and what it means for the NFC West
• Why the Bills’ dominant win over Pittsburgh shows they’re hitting their stride at the right time
• The Seahawks’ rebound after blowing out Minnesota
• The Lions sliding in and out of top-seven status after a loss to the Packers
• The Jaguars returning to form behind strong run game and defense
• The Colts missing a huge opportunity against Houston and how that affects playoff seeding
• How the Panthers have quietly re-entered the playoff discussion in the NFC
