Sadly, this annual crosstown game won’t be played in 2012 because of what transpired during last year’s matchup at Candlestick Park. Fan violence resulted in 70 ejections, 80 calls for medical attention and two parking-lot shootings, even though the stadium was less than 70 percent full. The Raiders and 49ers had met in the preseason for 11 straight years and 39 times overall since 1967.
