OVIES & GIGLIO

Ovies & Giglio open the show with an OG Sports Phone call that accuses the Carolina Hurricanes of being on “fraud alert.” Are they getting trolled, or are there some Caniacs overreacting to a solid start clouded by injuries?

Ovies & Giglio dive into a jam-packed Sports Equinox episode, starting with an instant World Series classic between the Dodgers and Blue Jays — and a reminder that we may not fully appreciate Shohei Ohtani’s historic greatness.

It’s another Butcher’s Market OG Live! Ovies & Giglio dive into the wild duality of the NBA — NBC’s nostalgic broadcast vibes, Victor Wembanyama’s breakout performances, and Cooper Flagg’s debut are all good headlines… but so is an FBI gambling probe involving Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and more. In college hoops, the guys break down ACC teams’ floors and ceilings, and debate if G League play...

The NBA returned to NBC on Tuesday night to open the 2025-26 season and it was a nostalgic hit with the John Tesh music and Michael Jordan memories. The games were good, too. Speaking of nostalgia, the Canes continue their west coast road trip with a throwback game with Colorado, er the Quebec Nordiques. Mike Maniscalco joins to discuss. Alec Makarewicz also drops by the studio to talk life in the...

Joe Ovies and Demetri Ravanos kick off the show with Joe’s new obsession — AI-generated 60s soul covers of 90s alternative hits — and wonder how long before the same kind of machine-made creativity infiltrates the sports take industrial complex. From there, the guys dive into how football has completely swallowed sports media, leaving massive stories like Shohei Ohtani’s historic MLB playoff run b...

And we’re not done yet — with FSU’s Mike Norvell and LSU’s Brian Kelly both sitting on the hot seat, the firings are far fr...

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio kick off the show diving into a wild weekend in college football — and somehow, Bill Belichick wasn’t the most embarrassing ACC coach.

With Joe Giglio in Greenville for ECU vs. Tulsa, Chip Patterson joins Joe Ovies. The guys open with college football, where TV networks appear to be abandoning Bill Belichick’s Tar Heels now that UNC isn’t a national draw. If fans aren’t showing up and the team’s getting buried in the schedule, what’s the point of keeping Belichick in Chapel Hill? And if both UNC and NC State jobs open at the same...

Giglio’s back — and he’s finally ready to reveal the real reason he missed Monday’s show: he was processing the possibility of Matt Rhule to Penn State. (Okay, maybe not entirely… but still.) Turns out, Giglio has a mystery candidate for the Nittany Lions job — and it’s a former Duke coach who’s not Manny Diaz. Then Extra Points’ Matt Brown joins the show to explain the Big Ten’s latest dance with...

The business of Belichick has officially gone bust. Joe Ovies and Demetri Ravanos break down how North Carolina’s high-stakes gamble on the legendary NFL coach has backfired — fast. The Tar Heels brought in Bill Belichick to spark donations, drive ticket sales, and boost TV ratings. Instead, after a 2–3 start and blowout losses to TCU, UCF, and Clemson, the hype has evaporated. Fans are leaving Ke...

The guys kick things off by giving the Carolina Panthers some long-overdue credit. Down 17 to the Miami Dolphins? No problem — they kept pounding and found a way to win. While questions remain about Bryce Young, there’s enough progress to “tell you something good” about where this franchise is headed. The victory proves the Panthers have officially graduated to being an averagely bad NFL team — an...

Clemson came to Chapel Hill and said move, Bill...get out the way. The Tigers rolled out southern hospitality in the worst way from the start — dropping 35 points on North Carolina in the first half.
