Welcome to the FMIA Mini Pod. My attempt every week to sum up what happens.

Welcome to the FMIA Mini Pod. My attempt every week to sum up what happened in the National Football League

and what to look forward to in the next week. I happen to be in Boulder, Colorado tonight.

It's about 4.30 in the morning, eastern time, 2.30 mountain time.

I'm going to Robert Klemko's wedding on Tuesday.

My wife and I came into Boulder. We like Boulder, so Robert lives

in Denver and we're going to go to his wedding Tuesday night on New Year's Eve. It would be a lot of fun and we just figured after spending Christmas

in San Francisco that we would go and have a few days, a little bit relaxing and a good place to write so here we are in Boulder and you

know I'm like everybody else I you know who loves football I watch the game on Sunday night

and I shirked a lot of work along the way

which is why my column is a little bit late getting up.

I think it posted at about 4.28 Eastern Time

AM obviously Monday and I just was blown away by the end of that game.

I think the last 25 seconds will have enough in it to write novels about.

Because, and I say novels instead of non-fiction books. about because I'm not sure everything that happened is totally believable.

But anyway, we're going to have a little bit of a different mini-pod this week because instead of going over all of the

games of week 17, many of which really have no relevance and we're kind of playing out the string games.

We're going to talk a little bit about game 256, the San Francisco victory over Seattle and we're going to talk about that and then

we'll talk about the looming playoff games and I'll tell you what I know about

the coaching situations around the National Football League.

So let's get to the lead of my column, which I wrote at a hotel in Boulder as we try to make some sense of what happened in game

256.
