The San Francisco 49ers spent the summer openly trying and failing to get rid of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. It was awkward, yet coach Kyle Shanahan was absolutely thrilled to still have him when Garoppolo stepped in for an injured Trey Lance and helped turn the team into a Super Bowl favorite. Then Garoppolo got hurt.

Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens punched a man over the weekend in Southern California, a brawl that the retired football great said Monday was self-defense. Once he entered the store, Owens said a customer approached him, identified themselves as a San Francisco 49ers fan and they exchanged pleasantries. "The guy I ended up fighting, he was basically threatening a guy, a fan of mine that was in the store," said Owens. Even two days later, Owens said he hasn't been able to figure out why the man was so aggressive to the 49ers fan. But the (49ers) fan was on the phone when I was talking to him.
