Expect the NFL to Make an Example of Both Dom DiSandro and Dre Greenlaw

I think the secret to a long, happy life is not disagreeing with folks such as Eagles chief security officer and senior advisor to the general manager Dom DiSandro, an absolute tank of a human being and a beloved, track-suit-wearing institution in the city of Philadelphia, so let’s take the the coming few words with appropriate caution.

What happened Sunday, when both DiSandro and 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw were ejected for a brief, shove-and-tap altercation on the sideline, will end up being something most of us can laugh about once the emotional temperature in the room reduces from boil to simmer (key word: most). The city of Philadelphia, which loves itself a good outsized folk hero, has no doubt been satiated. Big Dom shirts are incoming. The 49ers, who left Lincoln Financial Field with a kind of emotional exorcism after their quarterbackless loss there in the NFC title game last season, have their own banner to wave, too.

Greenlaw and DiSandro both acted human in the moment Sunday, but both were ejected.
