Dom DiSandro’s name is back in the conversation, and this time it’s tied to a very different kind of sideline controversy.
DiSandro, better known around the league as “Big Dom,” serves as the Philadelphia Eagles’ chief security officer. He also works as the senior advisor to the general manager and director of gameday coaching operations.
Most fans first learned his name in 2023, when he got into a physical confrontation with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw during a sideline scuffle. Greenlaw had tackled Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith near the Philadelphia bench, the two sides exchanged words, and DiSandro stepped onto the white boundary stripe to break it up.
He put his hands on Greenlaw, and both men were thrown out. DiSandro later received a multi-game sideline ban.
Now his name has surfaced again because of comments from former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho, who set off plenty of chatter this week after discussing how things can work inside pro sports organizations. On his Speakeasy Podcast, Acho told a story about a past car accident and what happened after he reached out to team security.
“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 said he rear-ended another driver while heading to practice, then called “one of our security people” from the team he was with. He described the next step like this: “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.”
Acho didn’t name the team, but the story quickly started getting linked to DiSandro. Because DiSandro has been with the Eagles’ security operation since 1999, his name was pulled into the discussion almost immediately, even though no direct evidence has been presented connecting him to what Acho described.
The speculation has centered on teams Acho played for between 2012 and 2015, with some observers using practice facility locations and the timeline to point toward the Eagles as the most likely possibility. If any league review were to happen, the thinking goes, it would naturally begin with the person who has run the franchise’s security side for so long.
Still, there’s nothing concrete tying DiSandro to the anecdote Acho shared. For now, the whole thing sits in the gray area of timing, circumstance and guesswork - with Big Dom once again the name everybody is talking about.

Max Duggan Still Looms Large Over TCUs Modern Peak
Max Duggan is long gone from Fort Worth, but his name still hangs over TCUs most recent rise in a way few former players can match. The former Horned Frogs quarterback left behind a college career that piled up more than 11,000 total yards and 101 touchdowns, and his run helped define the programs modern peak before he moved on to the next level.
Since being drafted by the Chargers in 2023, Duggans path has taken him through the St. Louis Battlehawks in the UFL and the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL. In 2026, he even signed with the Ottawa Redblacks before being released, a reminder that his professional journey has been as unsettled as his college one was memorable, and it leaves open the question of where his football road goes from here.

TCU May Have An Early Edge With This New-Look Tight End Room
TCU heads into its season opener against North Carolina with a tight end room that looks far different than it did a year ago, and that has put a bigger spotlight on coach Mitch Kirschs group. The Horned Frogs will lean on redshirt juniors KaMorreun Pimpton and Lafayette Kaiuway, along with junior Kari Ashley, as they try to replace the production and presence they lost from last season.
The plan is to use that depth in multiple-tight-end sets, giving TCU more ways to stress defenses in both the run game and the passing game. Ashley is one of the more intriguing names in the mix, and if this group comes together quickly, it could give the Frogs an early advantage while the rest of the offense settles in. [Read more 🡒]
