Ovies & Giglio check in one last time in 2025, with plenty to get into today. They open with the Carolina Panthers, who continued their win-loss pattern by dropping their final home game against the Seattle Seahawks. While the result wasn’t a surprise, it’s fair to be disappointed that Carolina didn’t lock up the NFC South when they had the chance. Now it all comes down to Week 18 vs. Tampa Bay, with a possible backdoor to the division title if the Atlanta Falcons lend some help.

In the Lightning Round, the guys hit more injury trouble for the Carolina Hurricanes — and this one’s significant — as Pyotr Kochetkov is out for the season after electing surgery to address a lingering lower-body issue. They also check in on NC State, UNC, and Duke heading into ACC conference play, plus quick thoughts on college football bowl season.

The rest of the episode continues on the YouTube Membership channel, where Ovies & Giglio audit podcast metrics, revisit some calls of the year, and open up the OG Sports Phone for listeners to share their best moments of 2025.

It’s the Ovies & Giglio 2025 Year in Review. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio look back at the stories, games, and debates that defined the year for Triangle sports fans — from the highs and lows of NC State, UNC, and Duke in both basketball and football to everything that mattered with the Carolina Hurricanes and Carolina Panthers. They revisit the moments that shaped the conversation all year long…and dig up a few topics they completely forgot happened in 2025.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who listened, subscribed, and supported OG Media this year. Here’s to an even bigger 2026.
