NFL Week 11 Power Rankings, Bears Coaching Drama & Playoff Hopefuls
Missing the Point - A Sports Podcast
11/14/24 • 74 min
This week, host Dave Clarke, Bob Kelly, and Rayshawn Buchanan dive into the latest on NFL Week 11 power rankings, spotlighting the rising contenders and struggling teams as playoff hopes hang. The episode starts with Dave’s intense “State of the Sizzle” segment, where he covers the ongoing drama with the Chicago Bears, who recently fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. With interim OC Thomas Brown stepping in, will the Bears finally find their footing, or is it time to brace for a tough season end? The hosts share their takes on the coaching shake-ups and discuss what these changes mean for Chicago’s future.
Next, they shift to cross-off teams, debating if it’s time to call it quits on the Giants, Cowboys, and Jets. Are these teams officially out of playoff contention, or could there be a chance for an unexpected comeback? The hosts assess each team’s challenges and potential for a late-season turnaround.
Dave, Bob, and Rayshawn go deep into the Week 11 power rankings in the episode's heart, focusing on the 49ers, Cardinals, and Vikings. Are the 49ers still a contender despite recent setbacks? Could the Cardinals become a surprise playoff threat? And is the Vikings’ impressive 7-2 record sustainable in the long run? As they discuss each team’s strengths and weaknesses, they also look at the upcoming Eagles-Commanders matchup, debating if Washington has what it takes to pull off an upset against a top NFC team.
Finally, they address growing player health concerns, particularly for quarterbacks, spotlighting Tua Tagovailoa’s risky season with the Dolphins and the broader mental and physical toll on players. With everything from predictions to heated debates, this episode is packed with insights on the biggest Week 11 storylines!

The Court Shift: Impact of Marcus Smart's Exit and Kristaps Porzingis' Entry on Boston Celtics
Missing the Point - A Sports Podcast
06/28/23 • 72 min
Hold onto your headphones, Celtics followers! We're breaking down the recent blockbuster trade that sent shockwaves through the NBA universe, propelling Marcus Smart out of Boston and ushering in the towering presence of Kristaps Porzingis. Expect an emotional tour down memory lane, as we celebrate Smart's impactful career highlights and his infectious culture contribution to the Celtics. We'll also introduce you to the new-look Memphis front court and pop over to meet the team under Joe Mazzulla's guidance.
Never a dull moment in the world of NBA trades, we're about to open a treasure chest of memorable Marcus Smart moments. From that unforgettable KG blessing to his 11 threes against Phoenix, and the heart-stopping game winner against Toronto, you don't want to miss out on these gems. We also contemplate the Celtics' two-dimensional offense and the time Grant Williams incited a fiery team spirit. Meanwhile, we examine the exciting prospects of the Celtics' trade, focusing on how the 7'3” Kristaps Porzingis could command the court and potentially transform the team dynamics.
As we bid adieu to Marcus Smart, we speculate on potential shakeups and roster moves that might still be in the pipeline for the Celtics. We also scrutinize the idea of getting rid of Robert Williams and the benefits of a double big line up with him and Porzingis. So, get ready for an engaging evaluation of recent developments and future prospects in the Celtics' realm.
