ahmed fareed joins us live from new orleans this morning. the league, the team and 49er faithful trying to move this forward this morning. >> yeah. a real head scratcher is what chris culliver was thinking. comments became national news after the 49ers availability was over. no comments from the 49ers about that. that has changed. jim harbaugh stepped to the podium a few moments ago. i'm sure he'll address these comments made by chris culliver. this did become national news. comments in case you haven't heard them, he was on a radio show with a radio host and he talked about if he would be open to having a gay teammate and basically chris culliver said he would be uncomfortable with that. he would not be open to that. we'll take an exert of the comments that he made. this is a podcast on youtube that he had with artie lange. take a hlisten to this. >> what about gay guys? >> i don't do gay guys. >> any on the 49ers? >> no. they don't got no gay people on the team. they got to get up out of here if they do. can't be with that sweet stuff. >>

>> for the camera, oh, yeah. >> ahmed fareed covered media day.le. >> there was no lady in a wedding dress, batman or spider-man but there was plenty of weird. the actual colin kaepernick hounded by the media. we had guys in masks, clowns. there was an element of weird but you mentioned it. a lot of reporters trying to get the laughs for that as well as information. larry grant, linebacker of the 49ers, we gave him the mic. he asked these questions. >> who is the ugliest person on the team? >> we have a few. i'll leave it to you. >> i think it's anthony dixon. >> agree. >> who is the most unattractive person on the team? >> anthony dixon without a doubt. >> you heard it. >> who is the most unattractive person on the team? >> definitely not me. >> i didn't ask was it you. i asked who is it. i have my guess. i said ian williams. >> hmm. >> i don't want to come off as a hater, but -- >> you heard him say ian williams, everybody. >> you know, i thought they all looked fine. tonight on comcast sports net bay area live from the big easy. we have chronic

speaking of comcast sports, let's check back in with ahmed fareed. you've got to have a little pressure with janelle right now. >> i wondered what she was doing here standing behind me. >> giving you cues? >> yeah. before she replaces me. all right. the sharks finally hit the ice. that's what we'll talk about coming up in sports. plus, breaking news involving the sacramento kings but it's all about the red and gold. we were on the ground in atlanta to get the best post-game interviews and we did just that. i'll tell you why the 49er ceo was a little teary-eyed after the game. >>> welcome back. ahmed fareed from the comcast newsroom. 5-0 is the record in super bowl in history. but when it started it looked like they might not get a chance to defend that perfect record. this is why, colin kaepernick leading the 49ers but it was matt ryan who stole the show early on. pick it up in the second quarter. atlanta already up by ten. check out the throw to julio jones and tapping the feet. got them both down. got three feet down. 17-0, falcons. jim harbaugh no

we check in live with ahmed fareed.ght that san francisco fog rolling in with them. >> reporter: yeah. i can guarantee the river is back there. the bridge is back there too. it was easier to see yesterday as fog rolls in today. no secret. new orleans is a town where you can get into some trouble. the 49ers players are well aware of that. they do have a team curfew. runs all of the way to the super bowl. it is difficult for them especially when they're in that downtown hotel. they walk out three blocks to bourbon street and see stuff like this. we saw randy moss and frank gore wandering canal street right now looking for a bite to eat. immediately when they went out of the hotel, fans were around them wanting pictures and autographs with them. tmz snapped shots of jim harbaugh and his family going out to dinner. hard enough to beat the ravens in the super bowl. try to do is on top of handling all of this pressure and all this craziness surrounding them. >> it's a hassle. i'm going to be honest. just having people chase y

reporting live from new orleans, ahmed fareed. >>> we've done this before. this isn't the first time the 49ers are apologizing for anti-gay comments. about ten years can ago garrison hurst made comments about sharing a locker room with gay players. he, too, apologized as did the 49ers. and earlier this week it became known former 49ers lineman harris is gay. he was arrested for allegedly beating up an ex-boyfriend. they claim harris and hurst were on the 49ers roster together in 2003. tonight harris released a statement exclusively to nbc bay area. it reads, it's surprising that in 2013 chris culliver would use his 15 minutes to spread vi it t triol and hate. i recognize these are comments that he may come to regret and that he may come to see gay people are not so different than straight people. win or lose sunday, here is something san franciscans do not want, chaos on the streets following the game. that's exactly what happened when the giants won the world series and nowhere was it harder hit than in the mission district. today city leaders paint a perso
