What used to be the "battle of the Bay" is now a contest between two teams preparing for the regular season in very different ways. For the 49ers, the third preseason game represents a chance to fix some of the things that went wrong when Kyle Shanahan elected to put star quarterback Brock Purdy on the field with the backups against the Saints. The result was an ugly performance in which Purdy went 2 for 6 for just 11 yards, and San Francisco looked like anything but the team about to defend its NFC crown.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

SANTA CLARA -- One of the few pitfalls of being a successful NFL franchise is the annual stress of an incredibly tight roster crunch, which the 49ers will face in the coming weeks.
