    Lombardi Fallout & UNC's Football Future | Panthers Preseason Plans | SEC/Big Ten CFP Standoff | 07.29

    Live on YouTube for Butcher's Market OG Live! Joe Ovies calls in Matt Brown, Andy Staples, and Walker Mehl to break down the UNC Lombardi fallout, the CFP debate, and Panthers camp. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - ACC preseason picks 09:00 - Lombardi triggered CSC inquiry? 20:00 - Matt Brown on college unionization 33:30 - Housekeeping 39:00 - WFNZ's Walker Mehl 1:07:00 - On3's Andy Staples 1:45:00 - Gordon Miller 1:55:00 - Hey Joe The show opens with Extra Points founder Matt Brown explaining the administrative mechanics behind the College Sports Commission looking into player dealings and UNC football general manager Michael Lombardi. Sticking with off field college football dealings, he also gets into the differences between what Stanford is doing with potential player unionization versus was Northwestern attempted a decade ago. Moving to the NFL, WFNZ’s Walker Mehl joins the broadcast to highlight the positive developments coming out of Charlotte. While Dave Canales' approach to resting starters in the preseason has been heavily debated, Walker explains why getting rookie offensive lineman Monroe Freeling and returning running back Jonathon Brooks game-speed reps in August is essential for Week 1 success. Then back to college football with On3 national college football insider Andy Staples, who jumps on the show to address the wave of national schadenfreude coming from both NFL and college circles over the Lombardi news. While critics are eager to proclaim the Belichick experiment in Chapel Hill a failure, Andy agrees with Ovies that writing off the Tar Heels' long-term future is incredibly short-sighted. Thanks to UNC's massive brand appeal and desirable position in future SEC and Big Ten realignment, Chapel Hill remains positioned to weather whatever happens next. Sticking with national college football, the guys shift to Big Ten Media Days, where the conference continues to push for a expanded 24-team College Football Playoff format. What will it actually take for Greg Sankey and the SEC to budge from their hardline stance of capping the field at 16? Finally, the show wraps up with another fun edition of "Hey Joe" OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7 OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMedia OG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    GM Lombardi Placed On Administrative Leave🐏🚨Can UNC Football EVER Be Normal? | Carolina Panthers Depth Concerns | ACC vs. SEC | 07.27

    Why can't UNC football be normal? TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Lombardi on administrative leave 03:30 - TarHeel247's Andrew Jones 26:00 - Housekeeping 31:30 - LockedOn Panthers' Julian Council 1:00:00 - ACC vs SEC 1:19:00 - Hey Joe With Joe Giglio away on vacation, Joe Ovies tags in some of his best media colleagues to guest co-host a newsy Monday. The show opens with massive breaking news out of Chapel Hill: the University of North Carolina has placed football general manager Michael Lombardi on paid administrative leave. Per ESPN’s Pete Thamel, the decision follows an HR complaint filed by a former UNC front office employee. The news completely derails Ovies’ original plan to simply discuss Tar Heel football in normal terms — because it seems true "normalcy" is impossible under Bill Belichick. Andrew Jones from TarHeel247 break downs the competing narratives. While Belichick has applied hard-learned lessons and leaders like Jordan Shipp have emerged to build a tighter locker room ahead of a tougher schedule, this investigation gives Lombardi’s loudest critics all the ammo they need to pile on. Then, the show turns its attention to Charlotte as LockedOn Panthers host Julian Council drops in to offer an honest progress report from Carolina Panthers training camp. While the offseason injury news remains a bummer, the encouraging availability of running back Jonathon Brooks and wide receiver Xavier Legette looking every bit the part provide legitimate reasons for optimism. Can Dave Canales’ group overcome early depth questions and emerge from a wide-open NFC South? Next, OG Business co-host Demetri Ravanos jumps on to contrast the vibes of ACC Kickoff with SEC Media Days. Demetri also delivers a gentle, humorous reality check to Ovies regarding his ongoing fixation that the SEC is somehow falling off in the wake of the Big Ten’s rise. Finally, the episode wraps up with a round of "Hey Joe"...

    OG Mailbag: Can Charlotte Handle The Super Bowl? | Panthers Vibe Shifting Injuries | LeBron Goes For Cheesesteaks

    David Tepper spent $1.3B on Bank of America Stadium, but left off a roof! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio answer mailbag questions on the Super Bowl myth, Panthers camp injuries, and more... OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7 OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMedia OG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Before the guys dive into the mailbag, a couple of personal confessions must be addressed. Joe Ovies takes Joe Giglio to task over his questionable AI-generated golf tournament flyer, then recounts how he let his entire family down by accidentally buying tickets to the completely wrong screening of The Odyssey. Once the household drama is settled, the guys open up the inbox to tackle a stacked pile of listener questions: The Super Bowl Delusion: Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper announced an additional $500M private investment to bring total Bank of America Stadium renovations to $1.3B. But while upgrading the fan experience and creating a downtown entertainment corridor is a massive win for Charlotte, his playful comments to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about hosting a Super Bowl fall flat. Joe and Joe explain why, regardless of how modern the building looks, the lack of a roof means events like the Super Bowl or the Final Four simply aren't coming to Charlotte. Panthers Training Camp Whiplash: Are we experiencing the worst offseason vibe shift in recent Panthers history? Just as positive momentum was building for Bryce Young, Taylor Moton’s long-term health scare, Jaycee Horn’s foot laceration and now Nic Scourton being out for the season threw the roster into immediate uncertainty. Plus, the guys tackle college football mailbag prompts surrounding Bill Belichick’s UNC narrative, Duke's Amazon pivot thanks to the B1G/FOX stepping in , LeBron James heading to Philly, summer concert experiences, Lenovo Center updates and more.

    OG Business: ESPN Layoff Fact vs. Fiction | Triangle Radio Morning Changes | Canes TV | SiriusXM’s Subscription Woes

    The guys lead off with the latest round of high-profile layoffs at ESPN. While hot-take commentary on social media fixated on individual talent departures like Ryan Clark, the cuts were the highly predictable outcome of ESPN absorbing NFL Network assets and consolidating behind-the-scenes staff. Joe and Demetri dismantle the popular internet theory that Pat McAfee's massive contract is solely to blame. Blaming single-host contracts reveals more about McAfee's polarizing Q-score with older audiences than it does about corporate economics. The stark reality? ESPN’s core legacy business model — built on lucrative linear cable subscriber fees — continues to contract, while live sports rights fees skyrocket. As YouTube and independent podcasts flood the market with unlimited free content, ESPN is aggressively cutting redundant payroll to pivot toward true, differentiated programming. Then, the conversation turns back to the Triangle to dissect recent morning show shakeups across local radio stations. What do these talent shuffles signal for local terrestrial markets fighting for commuter ears? Sticking with local media evolution, the guys flesh out more details on the newly minted Carolina Hurricanes sports network. Finally, they analyze the compounding woes over at SiriusXM. Facing declining satellite retention, high monthly subscription costs, and major talent cutbacks (including flagship shows reducing schedules), can satellite audio stay relevant in a landscape dominated by friction-free, algorithm-driven apps?

    SEC Breakaway Threats Aren't Real | Panthers Open Camp With Bad News | Canes New TV Plain Explained | NFL QB Hot Seats | 07.22

    Live on YouTube for Butcher's Market OG Live! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio parse the SEC's messaging panic, Panthers camp injuries, and the new Canes TV network. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Harbaugh gets us hyped for offseason protocols 06:00 - SEC really gonna breakaway? 23:30 - Housekeeping 29:00 - Panthers open camp with bad news 36:00 - ESPN's Brooke Pryor 1:12:00 - Gordon Miller 1:20:00 - Explaining Canes new TV approach Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio lead off with the overarching meta at SEC Media Days. Commissioner Greg Sankey appears to be quietly walking back his postured threats about the SEC breaking away from the NCAA and the reason why is pretty clear. The conference has gone three consecutive years without claiming a college football national championship, watched the Big Ten flex its muscle, and failed to even put a team in last year's title game. From Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz complaining about a 9-game conference slate to Sankey stomping his feet over expanded playoff formatting, the guys expose why the SEC's traditional bully pulpit doesn't work when NIL and the transfer portal have completely leveled the talent landscape across the country. From college football to Charlotte, the Carolina Panthers officially opened training camp, but the positive summer vibes immediately hit an alarming medical snag. Veteran right tackle Taylor Moton faces a long-term absence after being diagnosed with blood clots in his lung, while star cornerback Jaycee Horn opens camp on the NFI list due to a foot laceration requiring stitches. While Horn is expected back relatively soon, the guys examine the massive, concerning domino effect Moton’s absence creates on the offensive line directly in front of Bryce Young. To dive deeper into the league, ESPN NFL insider Brooke Pryor joins the show to discuss why starting quarterbacks across the league — rather than the head coaches — are facing the ultimate high-stakes hot seat entering the 2026 campaign. Finally, Ovies taps directly into his "OG Business" wheelhouse to break down the big local media news: the launching of the brand-new Carolina Hurricanes sports network. As one of four franchises selected for the NHL's pilot program for centralized broadcast production, what does this mean for the viewer at home? While fan favorites Mike Maniscalco and Tripp Tracy remain on the call, Joe explains why taking control away from traditional RSNs is an absolute win for Caniacs and offers a glimpse into the future of regional sports broadcasting.

    World Cup Winners & Losers | ACC Kickoff Reaction | Is Everyone Over DeChambeau? | 07.20

    The 2026 World Cup ends with Spain on top! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio break down the final with Oronde Ash, process ACC Kickoff reactions, British Open fallout and tackle Carter-Finley traffic nightmares. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - So Much Canes In Spain 07:00 - Oronde Ash on World Cup 44:00 - Housekeeping 48:00 - Newmark interview reaction 1:08:00 - Mensah Kickoff reaction 1:19:00 - DeChambeau discourse 1:29:00 - Lightning Round 1:40:00 - Carter-Finley concert traffic woes The greatest summer sports spectacle on earth has officially wrapped up, but the ending didn't quite live up to the month-long buildup. The guys open up the show analyzing the 2026 World Cup Final. While the tournament delivered historic moments and star-making performances, the final clash between Spain and Argentina ended with a bit of a thud. Spain proved they were the absolute class of the field, dominating the pitch and leaving Argentina looking completely outclassed — even if they managed to keep it close on the scoreboard until the final whistles. OG Senior Soccer Analyst Oronde Ash joins the guys in the studio to put a bow on the entire World Cup experience, evaluating the global shift in talent and mapping out the immediate, crucial next steps for the USMNT program. Then, the show pivots back to local gridiron as the OG Sports Phone lights up with caller reactions following the crew's road trip to ACC Kickoff in Charlotte. The listeners weigh in on the big-picture strategy outlined by new UNC Athletic Director Steve Newmark, while Duke fans air their grievances over how former quarterback Darian Mensah talked about the program following his transfer to Miami. In the lightning round, the guys tackle the recent rules controversy at the British Open and audit Fanatics' inescapable, polarizing footprint across the entire sports merchandising ecosystem. Finally, the show wraps up with some hyper-local Raleigh culture talk. After navigating catastrophic concert traffic around Trinity Road and Carter-Finley Stadium, Joe and Joe admit their genuine shock at discovering just how massive folk-pop icon Noah Kahan has become for the Xennial demographic.

    UNC AD Steve Newmark: Belichick’s Future, Hoops Evolution & Positioning For "What's Next" | Manny Diaz, Jake Dickert, Gio Lopez, Jordan Shipp & More From ACC Kickoff

    The final day of ACC Kickoff features new UNC AD Steve Newmark on the future of Tar Heel sports, Manny Diaz on Duke’s championship defense, Jake Dickert's effort to not let last season's surprise 9-win season change who they are, and much more... TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 04:00 - UNC AD Steve Newmark 32:00 - Belichick still isn't "normal" 36:40 - Housekeeping 42:00 - UNC's Jordan Shipp 56:00 - UNC's Melkart Abou-Jaoude 1:06:30 - Duke's Manny Diaz 1:17:00 - Duke's Nate Sheppard 1:25:30 - Wake's Jake Dickert 1:36:00 - Wake's Gio Lopez 1:49:00 - Cal's Tosh Lupoi 2:01:00 - Hey Joe The curtains are coming down on "Talking Season" in the Queen City, but the final day of the 2026 ACC Kickoff provided a little spice for the podcast. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio lead off with wide-ranging interview welcoming brand-new North Carolina Athletic Director Steve Newmark to the table. Fresh off completing a year-long transition with Bubba Cunningham, Newmark outlines the immense strategic reality of taking over the big chair full-time. He dives into the high-profile expectations greeting Bill Belichick's second year leading Tar Heel football, and details how he's balancing the intense "local politics" of a proud university while thinking outside the box on institutional projects like Carolina North and the dawn of Michael Malone’s men's basketball era. Most importantly, Newmark maps out how he plans to aggressively position the Carolina brand to survive and thrive through the lawless, revenue-sharing future of college athletics. Sticking with the Tar Heels, standout wide receiver Jordan Shipp stops by the microphones to deliver a raw, candid perspective on the locker room culture. Shipp explains how the sting of last season's missed opportunities is actively driving him and his teammates to fundamentally flip the script on the program's narrative. Then, the reigning kings of the conference pull up a chair. Duke head coach Manny Diaz steps to the mic radiating massive "us against the world" energy. Coming off a historic ACC Championship, Diaz clears the air and turns the page on quarterback Darian Mensah's high-profile, late-summer transfer portal jump to Miami. Manny makes it explicitly clear: he loves the fact that the national media is already counting the Blue Devils out, and his roster is primed to shatter expectations yet again. Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert also crashes radio row to break down his heavy, rapid-fire indoctrination into the unique dynamics of North Carolina's Big Four football landscape during his debut season in Winston-Salem. Dickert discusses how he is maintaining the Demon Deacons' core "built in the dark" mantra following a spectacular 9-win campaign capped off by an authoritative Mayo Bowl victory over SEC competition. His QB, Gio Lopez, follows up with discussing the reset button he hit to land with his old coordinator and getting back to enjoying football after a rough season with UNC. Finally, new California head coach Tosh Lupoi sits down for a fascinating look at the logistical reality of managing a West Coast program adjusting to the permanent, cross-country realities of the ACC.
