AUSTIN, Texas, October 15, 2026, MissedTakes has passed its 10,000th article or episode read. As of today the count stands at 10,079.
That figure counts published articles, podcast episodes and broadcast segments MissedTakes has read in full and mined for checkable predictions, the raw material behind every take the site puts on the record. It is not the number of predictions graded, and it is not the number of pundits tracked. It is the reading and listening that has to happen before any of that can exist.
The count moves fast. A day earlier, on October 14, it stood at 9,899. In the 24 hours since, MissedTakes added 180 more articles and episodes to reach 10,079, pace typical of a season in full swing, with new game previews, trade reports and reactions published every day across the outlets the site follows.
That reading has produced 12,767 graded predictions and 7,878 published takes on the record, drawn from 1,195 approved pundits writing or speaking for 264 outlets, including 1,283 hours of transcribed podcast and broadcast audio. Across 13 completed seasons of tracking, mean accuracy runs 62.7% on NFL calls and 69.3% on US elections calls, among the two subjects MissedTakes covers.
Some of this week's reading produced calls worth pointing to. John Green argued the Bills would beat the Rams on Monday Night Football, a pick that landed at 100% accuracy once Buffalo won 37-34. And on the leaderboard, Donnie Druin currently sits second overall at 96.1% accuracy, though that is across 15 graded calls so far, a sample small enough that the ranking should be read as early rather than settled.
"Ten thousand articles and episodes is a lot of reading to get to one number," said Ben Garves, founder of The GoodApps Company. "What matters to us is that every grade on the site traces back to something a person actually wrote or said, not a guess at what they meant."
