SCORIGAMI, PART 4 OF 4: THE FUTURE.
Added 2025-09-01 16:00:14 +0000 UTCADVISORY: This is the episode we'll be showing for Wednesday evening's screening at SVA Theatre in New York City (as of this writing, a few tickets are still available). If you're attending, you may want to hold off on watching this one. Or you could watch it beforehand and smugly sit in the theater with arms folded and mutter things to the effect of "I already knew that" or "I knew that already." People love it when you do that! If you're unable to make it, or if you're one of the dozens of people worldwide who do not live in New York City, think of this as an advance review copy. After the screening, Alex, Seth and I will have a conversation onstage in which we'll field some of y'alls' questions about scorigami and the production process behind it. So if you have a question, leave it in the comments below and we'll try to get to it!
Anyway, hey, it's Jon again. This final episode of Scorigami in particular is one that Alex and I have been planning, in some form or another, for many years. It features some of the wildest stabs at data visualization we've ever attempted, all in pursuit of questions that ultimately do not matter at all. And although we won't spoil it here, we finally identify the one score on the scorigami board that's technically possible to achieve, but that in practice would completely defy human comprehension.
As always, thank you all so much for showing up for our Patreon. We hope we're making it worth your while. If you're interested in showing this to your friends who aren't members, the entire Scorigami series will publish on Secret Base's YouTube channel across the month of September, with this final episode dropping around the end of the month.
(One goof of note: around the 55-minute mark, some of the projected point totals you see are incorrect by somewhat small margins, although the highest figure is correct. Also, please enjoy my misspelling of "success" as "sucess." It's a typo that will haunt me for eternity, although if I had to misspell one word, I'm glad it's that one. Clearly, I was not serious about success.)

I'm a bit late to the party, but I tried to create a understandable example of getting to the model 4 probability. It goes like this: Going to the casino, You have promised yourself to only 1 bet in each game. To reach the model 4 number, you'll need to: - Win in Craps (1 in 4.5) - Get a blackjack in your first hand (1 in 21) - Go to the roullette table and win while betting on a number (1 in 38) - Win the highest jackpot on a slot machine on the first try (1 in 8,000) - Winning in poker with a Royal Flush on your first hand (1 in 649,739) And just like that, you reached the odds of 1 in 18,6 trillion. Congratulations! You're probably Mr. Rocky Valentine and you are in the other place in that Twilight Zone episode.

2025-10-04 16:36:28 +0000 UTCI feel like if we ever see the forbidden score of (spoilers) 10-1 on the scoreboard, the losing team with fight back with 16 points while the winning team defends their lead with 10 points...

2025-09-19 04:58:33 +0000 UTCSomething I wish was explored was the concept of a competitive max-scoring game. I'm imagining a game where every kickoff is returned for a touchdown and two point conversion. Doing some quick math, and assuming a kickoff return takes about 30 seconds, we could have 30 touchdowns per quarter, 120 per game plus one for each team in overtime, resulting in a score of 488-488.

2025-09-14 20:35:02 +0000 UTCWhile I 100% agree with the message that sometimes, things just are completely meaningless, Scorigami is one of the few things you can root for no matter what team you support, who your favorite player is, or even if football isn't a sport you particularly care about. It's a great example of something so human, a goal that provides nothing when it is achieved except for the memories of the excitement that led up to its achievement. I love numbers, so of course I'm gonna love scorigami, but all of the numbers-haters in my life love scorigami as soon as I tell them about it. It's the closest thing there is to religion in the world of sports.

2025-09-08 23:48:58 +0000 UTCThe NFL should go metric. Grid looks the same as always, it's just in meters instead of yards. So 1st-and-10 is closer to 1st-and-11 in yards and the field is about five yards wider when expressed in meters.

2025-09-08 22:13:46 +0000 UTCShout-out to CBS Sports for including the scorigami in the headline and John Breech for mentioning how there were seven scorigamis in 2024 in the article body. It's grown beyond the Jon Bois verse.

2025-09-08 22:12:36 +0000 UTCAbsolutely thrilled that we saw a week-one scorigami the season after this documentary came out. Shout out the Bills offense for missing 3 2-point conversions to make it happen, and shout-out Kyle Hamilton for almost making a 1-point safety for the defending team on a 2-point conversion

2025-09-06 08:36:24 +0000 UTCDefinitely need to bring back the bigger fields. (Extra 10 in the middle) and deeper end zones (start with 5 yards plans to add 10 total bringing it to 20 yards) suspend the uprights so they can be back on the goal line and not be a concussion magnet. BRING IN THE ROUGE!!!!

2025-09-05 19:26:41 +0000 UTClove this and i think this is far and away the most likely way for a 1 to happen. still difficult to imagine but not impossible: maybe it's week 18, there are no playoff implications remaining, the two coaches are old friends and coach A does it as sort of a goof / hat tip. -jon

Harrison Hodges
2025-09-04 21:23:34 +0000 UTChave we considered another avenue for the intentional one-point safety? for example: tonight, let's say, the eagles are up on the cowboys 34-0 in the fourth. the backups are in and they score a touchdown to make it an even 40. inexplicably, they line up to go for two. mike tirico and cris collinsworth are bewildered. nobody has any idea why they'd do this. but then, after the snap, sam howell just takes off towards his own end zone. he runs out the back of the end zone for a one-point cowboys safety. announcers, fans, everybody even slightly aware of football, are all losing their minds. the game ends 40-1. the coaches shake hands, and nick sirianni says to brian schottenheimer "hey, did you know you're now the only coach in nfl history to score exactly one point in a game?" schottenheimer is taken aback by this. "congratulations," sirianni says. the "go fuck yourself" is left unspoken. the ultimate sign of football disrespect, rivalled only by another eagles-cowboys game in the 1980s that you've already covered. why on earth would the eagles do this, even to their biggest rival? i dunno. but it was fun to write.

2025-09-04 13:58:49 +0000 UTCThere's a beautiful irony in one of the scores in the most unlikely scorigami on the board being the incredibly common 10. Great work, as always.
theMasochistGamer
2025-09-04 11:43:37 +0000 UTCI still enjoy 8-7 as one of the most interesting unachieved scorigami. It looks so simple and basic but requires you to think about the psychology of the game to realize why, in the few scenarios where each team just had trouble scoring, one would choose not to take the risk of losing by going for 2 and would rather take the chance of going to OT. Of course, there's always the option of 2 FG (or a missed extra point TD) and a safety.

2025-09-04 02:33:42 +0000 UTCIt's probably more likely for the atoms of the universe to spontaneously form out a 6-1 game than a 6-1 game to actually happen organically. I call this the Boltzmann Scoragami.

LordBloodVein
2025-09-03 19:07:53 +0000 UTCLoved the ending. About things being allowed to be meaningless. It reminded me of the beautiful and strange essay Meaningless Work by fluxus artist Walter de Maria. You should read it. Has beautiful stuff in it like: “Meaningless work is potentially the most abstract, concrete, individual, foolish, indeterminate, exactly determined, varied, important art-action-experience one can undertake today. This concept is not a joke. Try some meaningless work in the privacy of your own room. In fact, to be fully understood, meanIngless work should be done alone or else it becomes entertainment for others and the reaction or lack of reaction of the art lover to the meaningless work can not honestly be felt.”

Alejandro Gonzalez
2025-09-03 16:22:42 +0000 UTCI imagined Jon having to walk into someone’s office, the guy who manages the production budget and was like ok look, we have the ending for the Scorigami project… but I’m going to need some more infrastructure to make it work. And then he draws on a whiteboard what it looks like and the guy goes “fuck it I’m in.”

Thomas Beuster
2025-09-03 02:02:30 +0000 UTCnot an important point here but: that's not what strength of victory means. strength of victory is like strength of schedule (which is the tiebreaker right below it) except you ignore losses. there are all sorts of points-based tiebreakers starting at #7, so this will actually improve your argument of just how meaningless three points actually are in terms of end-of-season tiebreaking procedures. as such I will be sending you an invoice of 69 cents as soon as you tell me which zip code dorktown is located in

2025-09-02 22:58:26 +0000 UTCThe commissioner thing being brought up is especially interesting because (presumably) in the time between this being recorded and today it was actually used to end a game! Lions v Falcons both teams decided to stop playing out of respect for a player that sustained an extreme injury in the final quarter and after a few minutes of both teams standing around the game was ended early.

2025-09-02 19:40:14 +0000 UTCIt's very funny that the "12 man team" is dismissed because that's not especially different from what a coach does now and especially so with the better communication options we have now than the 30's
Chiral
2025-09-02 19:40:01 +0000 UTCI don’t actually think the one point defensive safety is as unlikely as Jon is making it out to be. It requires the team going for the two point conversion to throw an interception, the guy who catches it to return it to the end zone but since he views it as a formality he really hotdogs it once he gets inside the 5 yard line and one of the offensive players forces a fumble with an easy strip. The ball then either rolls into the end zone where an offensive player falls on it or it rolls through the end zone. I think this guy play just requires a rivalry where there’s bad enough blood for the defensive player to want to rub it in and the offensive players are dedicated enough to really chase him down. Or even more possible, the defender starts celebrating early and drops the ball on the 1 where it rolls into the end zone and is recovered by the other team. Or he gets REAL cocky and, thinking he’s already in the end zone, throws the ball into the stands, resulting in the defensive one point safety and maybe an excessive celebration/unsportsmanlike conduct penalty enforceable on the kick. Honestly for a second I thought this would be even more likely because in a situation where the defensive team is already leading to the extent that the difference between them scoring one or two points is negligible I could see a player doing this to really rub it in, but of course that necessitates them to already be leading so it wouldn’t end up in a 6-1 or any other score to 1 Edit: ah nuts, didn’t realize that would be a touchback but I could still see a scenario where the player fumbles on the one, ball doesn’t roll into the end zone, offensive player picks it up and his momentum takes him into the end zone where he’s tackled.

Anirudh Ganesh
2025-09-02 16:57:11 +0000 UTCYes, the safety play would be faster, but a safety would also require Team B kicking off back to Team A, requiring time to come off the clock before Team A scores again, maybe 10-15 seconds or so for a kick return. Much less efficient than a pick-six that takes 5-7 seconds
Evan Long
2025-09-02 16:51:12 +0000 UTCThe only other factor I can think of for the infinite touchdown strategy is… how long can a kicker’s leg reasonably hold up before the muscle starts to get sore and weaken? The ball has to be kicked into the end zone and must at least make it to the 20 yard line. At what point does fatigue set in enough to make a pro kicker incapable of kicking it that far? Do you sign multiple kickers to your roster before the game? The limits of how many points can be scored in a football game may be based on human anatomy after all…

minjachi
2025-09-02 01:54:03 +0000 UTCRegarding 26:01 and Jon's 1-point proposal, even though the CFL has had the rouge forever (making all scores theoretically possible), upon a cursory glance, games ending with the losing team having only 2, 4, or 5 points are still much rarer than 1, 3, or 6, although anything below 7 is still pretty rare. I think the CFL is generally higher-scoring on average than the NFL, which probably accounts for scores <7 being rare, but despite every score being theoretically possible there's still a very uneven distribution between certain numbers. With Jon's proposal or the adoption of the rouge, even though the 1, 2, 4, and 5 point rows become much more statistically likely outcomes, the scoring distribution might still be pretty wacky, especially if field goals and the 7-point touchdown+PAT are still the primary building blocks. (data taken from https://cflscorigami.ca/, I did not do this research myself)

2025-09-01 22:37:54 +0000 UTCEvery so often I'll think of that titans-jags game from a few years back. the titans are up 7-2 with the ball on their own 1. derrick henry, of course, runs 99 yards for a TD, but i wonder what might have been if he had instead gotten stuffed in his own end zone for another safety.
Harrison Hodges
2025-09-01 22:34:59 +0000 UTCYou know, maybe prop betting on scoragami will lead to the next great explosion of scorigami: A coach or a QB has money wagered through agents on a scoragami happening, and the opportunity for a natural-looking scorigami shows up(or even unnatural, as baseball players seem not to care if it's remotely convincing), and they go the last mile to scoragami. The final score would very likely stand in the record books, even if they made the charge of manipulating the game for gambling purposes stick. They wouldn't have the opportunity to do it all that often, but the long odds might make it profitable to wager on scoragami each game if the opportunity shows up even once a season.

2025-09-01 19:00:52 +0000 UTCThe only way I could see that one-point safety happening would be someone from the offensive team having a Jim Marshall moment. Something like a sequence of QB throws pick, offensive team player forces fumble on would-be pick-2, then whoever recovers that fumble has the Marshall Moment.

2025-09-01 18:57:53 +0000 UTCThe only reasonable way to bet on a Scorigami prop bet is to bet that there will NOT be a scorigami. Either you get a bit of income, or you've just bought yourself a scorigami! Win-win.
PsyMar
2025-09-01 18:53:25 +0000 UTCIt seems to me the most likely scenario to create 8-7 would be a team that scored a safety to go up 2-0, surrendered a touchdown and PAT to fall behind 7-2, then scored another TD and failed on the two-point conversion and went up 8-7 when they were trying to go up 10-7. It doesn't seem to make sense where both teams score a touchdown and yet one kicks a PAT and the other goes for two and makes it. In neither case (team down 8-0 scores or team down 7-0 scores) to accept the potential of 8-7 or 7-6 and needing a safety to go up 8-7.

2025-09-01 18:50:21 +0000 UTC"Outside the accepted tactics" and a "patently unfair act" will ensure that we will never get two teams with no playoff worries, their seeds locked in for a Week 17 clash, to collude on a score of 4-4, or one team leading in a shutout scoring one final touchdown and deciding to run the ball all the way back to its own end zone on the PAT for a one-point safety. Could be 6-1, could be 34-1, could be 575,999 to 1, would the commish allow it? It would fundamentally be the Germany-Austria gentlemen's-agreement match from the 1982 FIFA World Cup applied to the NFL.

2025-09-01 18:47:34 +0000 UTCI think "We've entered another realm here, one that's far larger, and doesn't operate on the dead currency of winning and losing. Unless you let those limits go, you're an astronaut who brought your wallet." might still be my favorite Bois-ism, but that line at 32:41 is certainly colorful

2025-09-01 18:45:50 +0000 UTCQuestion for the NYC conversation: I assume at, this point, y'all heard about Blaseball which, when it exists, had "Jonbois" in it's name pool. But were you aware that because of all the weird shit that happened in those games (fractional runs, negative runs, a weird tie once because of computers) ... we had our own "Sclorigami" (Blaseball fandom stuck the extra L into most words) ? sclorigami.sibr.dev I will be attending the NYC SVA show and hope to have a copy of the 3D image with me as a visual aid!

2025-09-01 18:43:05 +0000 UTCI think we can all agree that, astronomical as the odds of a 10-1 game are, if it ever does happen it will be in the Big Ten and probably involve Iowa. who were in fact involved in 6-4 game in recent memory
PsyMar
2025-09-01 18:41:30 +0000 UTCI think the most likely cause of a Defensive One-Point Safety is if a would-be Pick-2 gets dropped at the one-yard line in celebration but bounces into the endzone, a player on the original offense, maybe the kicker, doesn't know the rule and picks it up in the endzone to bring it out and "avoid a safety", then gets tackled back in.

2025-09-01 18:25:30 +0000 UTCWould be cool if you recorded the post-screening chat and released it on the p'dcast! But also, I get you have lots on your plate already.

Lewis Miller
2025-09-01 17:10:21 +0000 UTC7:30 I don't think 73 will be the limit forever. Sooner or later there will be another game like that, except between two teams out of playoff contention that well and truly hate each other. Bears-packers, Patriots-jets, one of those. And that day, the record will fall.

2025-09-01 17:06:25 +0000 UTCHere's my take on the kneeldown at the end of that Dolphins game: It was disrespectful. "You're no good so we're not going to play anymore." You want to show respect for the opponent? Run one more play. Give the opponent a chance -- however easy -- to stop you on fourth down, or at least save the touchdown. If you get the first down THEN you can kneel, that's standard practice to run out a victory, but don't fucking kneel on fourth down and give the ball back, THAT is disrespectful. And if your fourth down run play scores a touchdown? You go to the media and say you weren't trying to run up the score, that you were trying to give your opponents an opportunity to prevent the record (moreso than having to block a field goal), and that your own players exceeded your wildest expectations.
PsyMar
2025-09-01 17:04:11 +0000 UTCat 5:30, The strength of victory tiebreaker has nothing to do with scoring margin. Rhat isn't until the 9th tiebreaker, best net points. Strength of Victory is just the combined winning percentage of the opponents you beat, so like stength of schedule but ignoring the games you lost
PsyMar
2025-09-01 16:58:01 +0000 UTCI was not expecting a creepypasta half way through the video but there it is, just lying motionless on the 50 yard line, undoubtedly wishing for an end to its miserable existence, if it were capable of such contemplation and self-awareness..
Nicholas Poer
2025-09-01 16:57:29 +0000 UTCPersonally, instead of a throw through the uprights to get a single point rule I think it would be very interesting to see an NFL adopt a CFL 1-point rouge system. I think teams could get very creative with it, and maybe even make kicking something interesting that we actually want to watch. A punt actually becomes meaningful if there's the potential to score points because of it.

Ben
2025-09-01 16:12:39 +0000 UTCI'm scared to watch this one, I just know it's gonna give me existential anxiety 🫣 But I'm going to guess in advance that the hardest Scorigami would be 10-1, since it requires the 1-point safety that's already basically impossible to do without collusion, plus two safeties, and that's it

2025-09-01 16:08:29 +0000 UTCNo question, but I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart that I appreciate all of the work y'all do. You shape my view on how there's a story worth telling no matter where you look.
