the forty niners returned te practice field this afterno are you rolling out the aaron rogers interview? >> we are. >> i think i saw that. >> i'm wondering, is the bay bridge open yet? is there any story you guys haven't covered on that bridge? >> we're looking. >> a million dollars. >> a billion. >> could have built the 49ers stadium and a regular stadium. anyway, 49ers return to the practice field this afternoon following their four-day weekend. a final break for a team that hopes to be playing in early february. >> the san francisco 49ers. we can do whatever we want. >> that's right. jim harbaugh had plenty to smile about. his team looked like a superbowl contender in their final game of the preseason, but it hasn't been all smiles thanks to the way it ended last

season. losing in the super bowl has made san francisco even hungrier to bring home that elusive sixth lombardy trophy. >> i've replayed it a lot. it's something i think about a lot. i want to go out this season and change what happened so i can put that behind me. it's hard to forget the super bowl loss. it's hard to forget the confetti falling on our head for the other team. >> we watch cutups, like certain defenses we played, things we could have done better and things we did well. that's hard to watch in the meeting room, so i can't even bring myself to watch the televised game. so i probably won't until we win one. >> for packers quarterback aaron rogers the loss to the 49ers in the playoffs was the game he had to think about all off season. sunday, we will once again have

a chance to deliver on the draft day promise he made to me in 2005. >> how days pointed are you that you were not drafted by the 49ers? >> not as disappointed as i am that the 49ers didn't draft me. >> 49ers and the raiders with kim ryan who is jacked out of his mind about this broadcast. reigning heisman trophy winner manziel didn't exactly silence his critics in saturday's opener. johnny football made light of his suspension for receiving money for an autograph signing. but his head coach denied reports that manziel snubbed him on the sideline following a penalty for taunting. >> he came off the field, basically i made two statements to him. neither one of which should he have responded to.

they weren't questions. they were direct statements that i can't repeat right now, and so, what's amazing to me is the perception that he, you know, he ignored me. worst thing that could have happened was for him to reply based on what i told him. >> yeah. bottom line is, if character has any weight, in the heisman voting, that guy will not win a second heisman. baseball the a's have won seven eight to pull within the rangers in the west. one of the reasons for the hot stretch, brandon moss who belt four home runs with 11 runs batted in. u.s. open, plenty of time to celebrate her birthday tonight. top seeded serena williams not messing around. how is this for present. the serve goes long and hits her. that was the only thing that didn't go serena's way because she didn't drop a single game in her straight set win that lasted 52 minutes. it took our crew longer to get through the bay bridge than it

took for this tennis match. serena will play the semi finals. u.s. open for the first time since 2006. have a nice trip. see you next fall. the 32-year-old hewitt appeared to take control in the fifth set. he hits the back winner and hewitt was up 4-2, watching this today, allen. rallying back to win five of the next six games to eliminate the 2008 open champion that lasted just under four hours, three hours longer than serena. >> good night. >> that is a huge fish. oh, my. six person crew pulled in a new mississippi record. 727-pound gator breaking the previous record of 723 set an hour earlier. this is my catch at lake of the pines. i don't like to brag, but that. >> look at the size of that fish.

>> that is a huge fish. >> the kicker of the story is i was so excited that i drop my pole and reel in the water. that fish cost me $200. gone to the bottom of the lake. >> oh, man. >> ridiculous. >> what were you using? >> that was a yamamoto for those of you scoring at home. >> there you go. >> look at the shirt. >> celebrated with a knobbers. >> look at the shirt. >> gun show there. >> not a very big gun show. >> all right. thanks, dennis. >> are we done. >> throughout evening, the latest always on k pix.com. >> i'm going home now. see you at 11:00. >> thanks for watching. you could save hundreds."
