Philadelphia Eagles head of security and senior advisor Dominic DiSandro, A.K.A. “Big Dom,” has been fined a shocking amount for violating NFL rules during a preseason game against the New York Jets last month.

DiSandro, who has also earned a reputation as the team’s gameday enforcer and is said to keep head coach Nick Sirianni level-headed, has been set back a whopping $75,000 for allegedly texting from the team’s bench.

The league prohibits texting from the bench area and contravenes its sideline conduct policy. NFL reporter Derrick Gunn said the Eagles appealed the fine but saw it upheld.

Big Dom’s role with the team was exposed in a viral sideline altercation with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw in 2023, which resulted in both of them being ejected.

The 47-year-old’s presence has become symbolic of the team’s grind-it-out identity, and he’s often seen on the sidelines during tense moments.

Although his role with the team is mainly behind-the-scenes, he has become a popular figure and is believed to have even turned down a movie deal that would have dramatized his life.

Dom’s fine is the latest in a growing list of transgressions held against the Eagles organization, which includes defensive tackle Jalen Carter’s punishment for spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott during their opener.

While it is an unwanted setback, the team hasn’t indicated any intention to make changes to their team operations involving their famed enforcer.

He is expected to be on the sideline during their clash against the Los Angeles Rams today.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
