and what colin kaepernick could be turned out to be pretty special.ean, when -- to me, the most impressive thing he did during the course of the playoffs was against the green bay packers. he came out, threw a pick six, interception the other way, and he still went on from there to play one of the most impressive games we've ever seen by a quarterback in the playoffs. throw for 180 yards. that kind of poise got a lot of people's attention. >> when you look at this quarterback comparison -- joe flacco, we talked a lot about colin kaepernick. what is it about joe flacco's game that has impressed you, and especially his performance in the postseason, throwing touchdowns and no picks? >> eight touchdowns, no certification interceptions. has really done a fantastic job. really great watching a volleyball match going on while we're talking here. the thing that's been impressive with him, since they made all the changes on the offensive line, you know, they took -- >> changed coordinators. >> on the inside, come back around the other way. three different pos

kaepernick turns free. turns the corner. not a linebacker in the league going to beat him at a footrace. the 49ers come up empty on the 2-point conversion that would make them pay. under three minutes left. gore, rips off a 33 yard run, the 49ers are inside the 10. he goes over 100 yards for the second time in the post season. but, san francisco would not be able to punch it in. kaepernick overthrows it on 4th and goal. furious holding was not called. you can expect the flag with the game on the line. ravens hang on to beat the 49erss, 34-31. and they win super bowl 47. >> i mean it is say great joy but it was the most difficult thing in the the world to understand that he is over there -- i just think jim is a great competitor and i don't just love him, obviously, i think anybody out there that has a brother can understand what that is all about. nothing that anybody can't understand. just believe in him, respect him, admire him and i look up to him in so many ways and i am hurting for him in that sense. >> i really want to

[ inaudible question ] >> you've seen those guys do it. they have the ability to score and score quickly. and that's kind of what they did there. you know, we got it 28-6 and they were able to go the length of the field and put a good drive together. then we kind of, you know, we didn't get anywhere and punted away and next thing you know we turn the ball over. so games can go like that. that's why you've got to take care of the football and get first downs

colin kaepernick, that's really interesting. the 49ers have -- they have really done a good job, kind of honing his throwing motion but at times letting him be an athlete and running these different options. so that's good for football. great for a super bowl. and i tell you, i bet the ravens' defensive coach is a little concerned. two weeks for the 49ers with this quarterback who has started, what, just ten games? you know, what new things they might put in -- >> not a lot of film on him. >> using his athleticism. and can he show the composure and the confidence that he's played in these other playoff games here in the biggest game of all. >> archie said the toughest thing about watching that game is knowing all the cameras are on you, just waiting to see, are you rooting for one son more than the other? >> he's been a treasure, archie has, to the game and to the city, obviously. still to come, we're joined by a couple guys who know what it's like to play in the super bowl. cris collinsworth played in a couple of them. and howi

that's a good thing for colin kaepernick. now, the big topic in new orleans today wasn't really 49ers. it was the profootball hal of fame and for the second year in a row, eddie the 49ers came up short. let me show you who did get in, the big topic being the former sonoma state star larry allen. he gets in. he'll be joined by chris carter, warren sapp, jonathan ogden bill parcells, and dave robinson. now, while those seven will have their moment in canton later this summer, i think this profootball vote today will be remembered for the three guys who did not get in. tim brown 49ers sack master charles haley and of course, eddie. >> will eddeie get in some day? i don't know. i thought he had a chance, but i didn't think he had a great chance because of bill parcells being up. very rare contributors go in so this was his best shot but unfortunately he had parcells sitting there. >> really only two people, i believe, may have spoken against. there wasn't much. most of the discussion was fairly positive, but you don't know what's

it was fourth and goal and colin kaepernick overthrew it. the 49ers are turning it over the game is not over but that was certainly a key moment. they failed to capitalize but i know that there are is such a range of motions. there were getting pummeled. and the black out. and they really perverse to the momentum. this thrilling a comeback. we are not saying that it is not going to pan out but it certainly does not look great right now. >> pam: these are live pictures with a live reporters and standing by. we are all on at to see how this game will end. and with just under two minutes. nobody thought this spent they thought that the 49ers have this they were going to be the victor worse. but the ravens came out so strong 49ers never really established a pattern in the beginning of any rhythm. >> correct they were flat. it is clearly john's victory. we are waiting to see if they can somehow extend this good fortune. >> we are going to take a quick break. super bowl 47. the baltimore ravens and san francisco 49ers. ao preparing your federal ta

the center of it all colin kaepernick. >> with a cannon of an arm, quarterback colin kaepernick is simply phenomenal. >> i have never seen that kid break a sweat. have you. >> no one comes here to be a backup >> if you go in the game confident, you will be confident in the game. >> capparis rise is nothing short of amazing. the three words tattooed across his chest say it all. against all odds. kaepernick was born in wisconsin to an unmarried teenager who put him up for adoption. his adopt parents had lost two sons -- adoptive parents had lost two sons due to congenital heart defects. as a child colin suffered from upper respiratory problems. at one point his parents had him tested for cystic fibrosis, which he did not have. at age 4, the family moved. he excelled if both sports and academics. football was his first love. but at 6' 4", he weighed just 170. >> very tall, very lean, very skinny. i was hoping he wouldn't break. >> only one major college offered kaepernick a scholarship. once again, he rose to the occasion. >> you have a guy like cap who can run like a gazelle, you have to pu

. >> colin kaepernick. i'm from modesto and we just want to see a local hero finish the deal and get the sixth superbowl that the niners certainly deserve. >> any predictions? >> i think the 49ers will win. it will be a close game, probably under seven points but i'm going with the 49ers. >> aren't we all? the hope is that the 49ers will dominate the ravens. to prepare for the hopeful revelry, there will be twice as many san francisco officers out today compared with the typical sunday. muni is also taking precautions, choosing to run diesel buses that can be quickly rerouted so they don't get trapped and ruined in destructive celebrations as they did after the giants won the world series this past fall. on bus lines on market will be detoured starting later today and most will be transferred to mission street. s car behind me is changing over to muni buses today. we are actually already seeing them run this morning. the city is just stream lining public transportation. they want people to have an easy, saf

collin kaepernick led 4 second half scoring drives during a 31- yard pass to michael crabtree. he had another touchdown and while the 9ers rally came up short in the final minutes in the game, coach harbaugh blamed the ref, not his young quarterback. >> they probably have some by as there, but in my mind -- bias there, but that is not the way they saw it. >> many feel including the coach there should have been a else whoing play on that penalty, however fans have a reason to be optimistic about the team's future since this was collin kaepernick's 10th start in the nfl. they don't know what caused the superdome to have the blackout and some feel it was beyonce's half-time performance however commissioner roger goodell says that is not what caused it. >> there is no indication at all this is what caused the blackout during the half-time show. there is nothing that points that out and that's not the case from anything we have at this point. >> superdome managers say an unknown abnormality caused a breaker to trip and caused the game to be delayed for about 35 minutes. >>> san fran

jay colin kaepernick, the 115- pound pet tortoise. he has had him since he was a kid. this is the greatest sports story ever, shut up. he has a propensity to devoure the shrubbery and crash into fences and bump into people. he could also live another 135 years. sounds like larry king. how is sammy handling the loss? see here. >> that is not full size yet? yikes. keep that away from the kids. >> the one thing is he has no idea his owner is a super bowl quarterback. he does president care. he just views him -- >> that is called unconditional love. >> i think it is just unspecified and different. >> a controlled apathy for over a century. >> you are 135 years old. so you live almost double what a human lives. do they have generational conflicts the way we did? so. >> that's just silly, greg. >> you don't think turtles think about stuff? >> i don't think so. i don't know. what would they think about? they don't buy lettuce. there is no turtle supermarket. >> this is true. >> there should be. >> i think it is an unusual pet to have, and i have -- was he dating anyone? >> th

what's the kaepernick effect, the ray lewis goodbye party, the harbaugh connection.ook san francisco slight favored but is anybody or anything happening down there this week that changed people's first impressions? >> reporter: yeah. you can pass along to bill. we were in the dome and the weather is really nice in there. pass that along. i think this place, new orleans probably the best to have a super bowl in. everything is kind of close together. you can walk to it but the players right now. they're sequestered like jurors in a big trial. nobody is getting to them and you're not going to be hearing anything new from they -- from them. so i thought it would be nice to get amongst the luminaries and see what they predict. >> i'm going with the 49ers. collin kaepernick up the outside and core up the middle. there you go. >> i've seen 17-0. they've seen they've run over the packers. you get a feeling that no matter what happens they figure it out. that's my prediction. there might be some tough times in the first half. but in the second half -- >> packers. >> i don't k
