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.
