Dom DiSandro’s name has been pulled into a fresh round of speculation after former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho described a past accident and what he claimed happened next with team security and police.
DiSandro, better known around the league as “Big Dom,” holds multiple roles with the Philadelphia Eagles: chief security officer, senior advisor to the general manager and director of gameday coaching operations. He has already been a familiar figure in NFL circles since 2023, when he got into a sideline confrontation with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw.
That exchange came after Greenlaw tackled Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith near the Philadelphia sideline, words were exchanged, and DiSandro stepped onto the white boundary stripe to separate the players. DiSandro put his hands on Greenlaw, and both men were ejected.
DiSandro also received a multi-game sideline ban.
Now his name is back in the conversation because of Acho’s remarks on his Speakeasy Podcast. Acho said the story involved a team he played for, but he did not identify which one.
“I’m playing for a team, I can’t say what team,” Acho said on his Speakeasy Podcast. “I played for three so, at least you all can’t know exactly which one.”
Acho went on to describe rear-ending another driver on the way to practice and calling “one of our security people” for help. He then recounted what that person allegedly told him: “When the cop shows up, send the cop away.
I’m going to send you another cop. And that other cop is going to say it wasn’t your fault.
It was their fault.”
That account quickly sent people trying to connect the dots, and DiSandro’s long run in Philadelphia made him an obvious name to land in the middle of the discussion. He has been overseeing the Eagles’ security matters since 1999, and the speculation has centered on whether the team Acho was referring to could have been the Eagles.
Still, nothing in Acho’s comments directly ties DiSandro to the incident he described. The talk around him is built on timing, job titles and educated guessing, not proof. And for now, that’s where the story sits.

Myles Straw Puts Clevelands Old Contract Mistake Back In Focus
Myles Straw is back in a familiar spotlight in Toronto, where he has a chance to work his way into the center field picture after the Blue Jays moved on from Daulton Varsho. For Cleveland fans, his name still carries a little extra weight because of the extension the Guardians handed him, a deal that now looks even more consequential as his career continues elsewhere.
The appeal remains obvious on the defensive side, but the bat has long been the sticking point, and that combination makes his situation tricky for any club trying to sort out its future roster. With Toronto weighing bigger-picture decisions for the seasons ahead, Straws place in those plans is not a simple one, and the contract attached to him keeps the old Cleveland decision very much in view.

Chase DeLauter Sounds Off On Why Cleveland Keeps Stalling At The Plate
Clevelands offensive frustrations have become impossible to ignore over the last few weeks, and Chase DeLauter put a finger on the problem in plain language. The Guardians have been under .220 with runners in scoring position over their last 17 games, a stretch that has left too many chances sitting on the basepaths and too few runs coming across. DeLauters read is that the approach changes when the moment gets bigger, with hitters pressing and chasing pitches instead of staying simple.
He framed those spots as no different from hitting with the bases empty, where the goal is still just to find a good pitch and take a clean swing. It is a basic answer to a persistent issue, but it also speaks to why the lineup has stalled so often when the pressure rises. Until the Guardians settle back into that easier mindset, the same missed opportunities are likely to keep showing up in the box score. [Read more 🡒]
Jos Ramrez Has Cleveland Facing A Brutal Late-Season Decision
Jos Ramrezs return from hamate bone surgery was supposed to help steady the Guardians down the stretch, but the results have been hard to ignore. Since coming back, he has not provided the kind of impact Cleveland expects from one of its most important players, and the offense has had to keep moving without the usual Ramrez spark.
Now the Guardians are left weighing a difficult late-season call. With the team having held its own in games without him, the question is whether Cleveland is better served giving Ramrez more time to fully recover while also sorting out how Angel Genao fits into the mix. It is the kind of decision that can shape not just the next few weeks, but the way the rest of the lineup settles in around him. [Read more 🡒]
