This february, nascar returns to fox with the 55th running of the Great American race. Putting the stock back in stock car racing that everyone is talking about. See the future of racing and the worlds best drivers, the daytona 500, february 24th only on fox. As we welcome you back to the yippeekiyay postgame show, another tough loss for the atlanta falcons. Mike smith was gracious enough to talk to pam oliver afterwards. Pam thanks a lot, coach. Always difficult to talk about something after such a disappointing game. But what do you take away from the season, your team, the heart and effort that youve seen from them . Well this is a group of men that has done an outstanding job. We just didnt get it done today. And i would like to congratulate the San Francisco 49ers for being representative of the nfc for the super bowl this week. But its a hard working group of guys that have had a lot of fun on this journey. Pam is there anything that upsets you the most, something that wasnt executed the most . Why did you not come out of this game with the win . Well, we didnt make the plays when we had the opportunity. There were five or six plays, like in most hard fought games, that make a difference. And there were ebbs and flows and changes in the momentum. They made more plays than we did today, pam. Pam and finally, the one player who will not leave this locker for a long time, Tony Gonzalez. What do you think, will he come back . Tell me about the impact hes made and just how kind of sad this is for him. Well, theres a bunch of guys in that room that dont feel real good right now. But i know for tony, it could be the last time he plays. The impact that hes had on our Football Team is immeasurable. Not just the offensive side, but the defensive side. Hes a great player and hes a super person and im just glad ive had an opportunity to work with him. Ive learned a lot from Tony Gonzalez watching him and spending time with him. Pam i appreciate it so much, mike. Thank you, pam. Pam back to you. Always one of the toughest interviews in sports to talk with the losing guy. But mike smith gracious in talking with us. Final thoughts, starting with you, howie. We talked about the offense potential to expand. I want to talk about the defense real quick. Bloodied, but unbowed at the end of the game when they needed it. A fourgame series at the end of the game, came up with the big stop and ended up winning the football game. I think this 49er team, whoever they happen to play in the super bowl is going to have their hands full because they didnt play their best ball game. Gave up close to 400 yards on the defense. Fumbled the ball on the 1 yard line. Miss a field goal. Theyve already beaten new england, so if its new england, theyve got to say weve already beaten new england. Theyve struggled the last couple of ball games defensively. But i think america should wake up and realize they are young at the position where is it matters most, wide receiver and that quarterback is amazing. You know, you could simply say perhaps were seeing today the start of another dynasty with the 49ers. They certainly hope so. Before we get out of here, lets get our subway fresh take from michael strahan. Which do you think they would rather see . I think the 49ers would rather see the Baltimore Ravens. They played new england earlier. New england scared them, scored a lot of points. I think theyre a better matchup for baltimore. Baltimore does have a very deep threat with their passing game. But i think that the 49ers at this pointing you dont care who youre seeing. But the Baltimore Ravens would be a better matchup. Thats michaels subway fresh take. As we are wrapping up another season, thank you so much for being the greatest cast anybody could have. I love you, man i love you, guys all right. It has been a wonderful year, fox nfl sunday,capped off by the emergence of colin kaepernick. Who would have thought hed become part of lore along with names like joe montana and steve young. We want to thank you for watching us all season long. Wish cbs sports for its coverage of super bowl xlvii in a couple weeks. Well see you next fall, folks. Enjoy. Heres chevy player of the game. It was the San Francisco 49ers who got the best of the falcons and advance to super bowl xlvii. The San Francisco 49ers are the champions of the nfc.
