Super Bowl tradition dictates that the coaches meet with the media separately two days before the Super Bowl. That custom was altered Friday because, after all, two brothers have never before coached against each other in the Super Bowl.
The San Francisco 49ers have a chance to win their sixth Super Bowl on Sunday. At the center of attention, quarterback Colin Kaepernick, a dazzling athlete who has achieved remarkable success against all odds.
The Harbaugh Bowl is just a few days away. The Ravens and 49ers are set to meet on the biggest stage in all of sports. The Ravens will need to contain Colin Kaepernick if they are to win on Sunday, but the 49ers will need to do the same with Joe Flacco.
