49ers wanting to wear throwback uniforms for SB

I hope they let them. Then everyone can be reminded of how they cheated the salary cap in that era. For all of you youngsters that may not have know. This occurred when the Saints were in the NFLW with the cheating 49ers.

Typical of Policy's shrewdness was the signing of Rickey Jackson, a 36-year-old linebacker whom no one was anxious to sign because of his age and $1.3 million salary. San Francisco got him for a ridiculous $167,000, but also included possible bonuses and incentives totaling $800,000.

No one screamed louder than the New Orleans Saints' owner, Tom Benson, who had offered Sanders a $4.3 million package. "We should all live by the book," he told reporters. "What kind of a Mickey Mouse organization do we have here?" It wasn't clear who Benson was calling a Mickey Mouse organization -- the 49ers, the Saints or the N.F.L. In any event, two weeks later, when Sanders intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown to help beat the Saints, the gentle strains of the Mickey Mouse Club theme wafted over the P.A. system while a packed house at Candlestick Park crooned "Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me?"
The joke was not just on Benson, of course. It was on the league, the players and, most of all, the remaining innocent fans who cling to the idea that this might be their team's year.

It costs less to cheat in the NFL than it does in the NBA. That was the message following a "settlement" of alleged violations by the San Francisco 49ers in shady contract deals for Steve Young, Brent Jones, Lee Woodall and Jim Druckenmiller made by former 49ers bosses Carmen Policy and Dwight Clark, both now with the Cleveland Browns.
