OVIES & GIGLIO

Have we heard the last of the Dianna Russini/Mike Vrable speculation? Probably not. Joe and Demetri talk about the value of insiders, a move that is sure to rock the Triad media scene, and how serious the government is about breaking the NFL’s stranglehold on TV.

It was a newsy day in Chapel Hill. Michael Malone's version of the Tar Heels is starting to take shape — Caleb Wilson is officially heading to the pros, roster movement is happening on both ends of the transfer portal, and in the most surprising development of the day, five-star guard Dylan Mingo will not be joining the program after visiting with Malone and his staff over the weekend. Mingo — a consensus top-10 prospect in the 2026 class — has reopened his recruitment after UNC decided to move on from the point guard. What does it all mean? A new coach with new priorities meeting the rising NIL prices for key positions. Then the guys shift to hockey — the Carolina Hurricanes wrap up the regular season tonight against the Islanders and Rod Brind'Amour has a legitimate case for coach of the year. But there is a fascinating historical footnote that might have Rod and Canes fans quietly hoping Lindy Ruff walks away with the Jack Adams instead. Plus more OG Sports Phone reaction to golf's bro-ification.

The OG Mailbag is back and the listeners have a lot to say. Carolina Hurricanes fans are pushing back hard on Ovies and Giglio — apparently the guys have been too pessimistic about the Canes' Stanley Cup Playoff chances and the fanbase is letting them hear about it. Is the criticism fair? The guys weigh in. Then more reaction to Michael Malone's hire at UNC — the questions, the optimism, and everything in between — as Chapel Hill continues to process one of the most unexpected coaching hires in recent college basketball memory. Plus the transfer portal chaos that has everyone in college basketball losing their minds right now. And whatever else lands in the mailbag this week. Want the full episode?

Michael Malone stepped to the podium at North Carolina and said all the right things. Now the real job begins. Ovies and Giglio react to Malone's introductory press conference and break down whether the optimism surrounding the hire is justified — and there is genuine reason to believe it is. The Athletic's Brendan Marks joins the show to separate fact from fiction in UNC's coaching search — which candidates were actually in play, which ones never really had a chance, and how exactly did the process go from Billy Donovan to Michael Malone? Plus — what is Michael Jordan's role with UNC basketball right now and how involved is he going to be? Then Altitude Sports host Nate Kreckman jumps on to give the inside perspective on Malone's time with the Denver Nuggets. What kind of coach is he really? And why did things end the way they did in Denver after winning an NBA title? OG Sports Phone calls close it out. Today's show was recorded at Fox & Bailey in the Village District just outside downtown Raleigh. Rob Ray, Timepiece Manager for Fox & Bailey, walks the guys through the recent boom in watch collecting. If you've been intrigued, Fox & Bailey has exactly the right approach and welcoming environment to satisfy your curiosity. Whether it's a simple Casio square that Ovies is into, or something bolder to make a statement.
