Boston sports are heating up again and Missing the Point is here with the most in-depth, unfiltered breakdown anywhere. Hosts Mike Marcangelo and Rayshawn Buchanan cover every angle of the week’s biggest stories across MLB, NFL, and the NBA.
⚾ Boston Red Sox Playoff Surge
The Red Sox are back in October baseball after years of mediocrity, thanks to a dramatic 4-3 walk-off win over Detroit. Mike and Rayshawn preview the AL Wild Card showdown with the New York Yankees, analyzing key matchups, bullpen strategy, and the impact of the controversial Rafael Devers trade. With Aroldis Chapman revitalized as a late-inning stopper, this could be Boston’s most dangerous team in years.
🏈 Patriots 42-13 Domination of the Panthers
Drake Maye’s 14-of-17 passing, two touchdowns, and zero turnovers highlight a breakout game for New England’s offense. Marcus Jones electrifies Gillette with a punt return TD, and Stephon Diggs continues to be a difference-maker. Mike and Rayshawn compare Maye’s efficiency to Josh Allen’s early career numbers and debate whether the Patriots have a legitimate top-10 quarterback already. They also call out the running game’s inconsistency and outline what’s needed to sustain success.
🏀 Celtics and Tatum’s Comeback Timeline
Jayson Tatum is rehabbing six days a week and eyeing a March 4 return. Mike and Rayshawn discuss how Tatum’s comeback could shape Boston’s playoff seeding and why Al Horford’s leadership remains a stabilizing force. They also break down the Anfernee Simons signing, the loss of key players, and what it all means for the Eastern Conference.
