This Week In Wedgies

Anyone have a contact for Fruit of the Loom?

Reminder: ‘The Wedgie Scale’ breaks down wedgies in the categories of uniqueness (was it a 3 or free throw attempt?), game situation (did it happen early in the first half or in the clutch?), importance (playoff game or regular season?), and frivolities (any post-wedgie shenanigans or broadcast shoutouts?). Then we give it an overall grade on a scale of 1-5 Ralphs, named for the legendary Clippers broadcaster, Ralph Lawler, who originally coined the term.

WEDGIE NO. 3 | Oct. 26, 2025 | Alex Sarr (CHA-WAS)

UNIQUENESS: Alex Sarr’s block on Collin Sexton’s layup attempt marked our second consecutive defensive wedgie of the season (see: Clingan, Donovan). Impressive swim-like move by Sarr to get his left fingers on the ball after swiping first with his dominant right.

GAME SITUATION: Midway through the second Q. The Wizards held a double-digit lead heading into the half, but wound up giving 88 points to the Hornets after orange slices.

IMPORTANCE: A Southeast matchup on a Sunday night. Very low.

FRIVOLITIES: Bonus points for that excellent slow-motion replay, but, sorry, I gotta take ‘em right back for Wizards’ analyst Drew Gooden’s giggles. There was seven or eight seconds of radio silence as the broadcast team tried to gain their composure.

GRADE: The block was a little sexier than Clingan’s, but Gooden’s wedgie disdain docks this points. 2 Ralphs.
