Welcome to Part 5 of Scorigami!!!

Ok, according to Jon's legal team, this is not 100% accurate, but because this episode of Weird Rules publishes the day after Scorigami wrapped up, it's basically the spiritual successor.

Speaking of, I'll do one last quick promotion for the Scorigami Live Screening that takes place tomorrow night - Wednsday 9/3 in NYC at SVA Theatre, there are still a few tickets left so if you've been going back and forth on making it, we'd love to see you there. Also, we'll be selling posters that Phil made specifically for the event. Here's what they look like...

Ok but this is not about Scorigami. This is about Scorigami's twin brother, an episode of Weird Rules about college football which does allow you to legally goal tend a field goal if you're talented enough. If you remember from many years ago, we covered the NFL's version of this rule which is simply, "don't do it." For the most part, CFB agrees, with one very, very cool exception. Unfortunately, we still haven't seen anyone pull this off. Yet.

Maybe one of you reading this will be inspired and go chase this accomplishment. No pressure.
