The 49ers were the second team to four Super Bowls but the first to five, thanks to a 213-3 shellacking of the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX. (I might have exaggerated the score.) Prior to No. 5, it should be noted the 49ers had been beaten in back-to-back NFC Championship Games by the Dallas Cowboys. So they bent (maybe finessed) the rules to sign a s---ton of free agents. The most noteworthy being mercenary Deion Sanders. It was like when the Warriors signed Kevin Durant, but if the Warriors also signed six other All-Stars, too. So you can either defame the 49ers for spending so much money or respect an owner who cared enough to go the extra mile. I prefer the latter. Don't be hating. (BTW, as a Rams fan in my youth who saw his team trade away its best offensive player ever because they didn't want to pay him, I was sort of jealous.)
