What's Happening?
Dom DiSandro, the head of security for the Philadelphia Eagles, has been fined $75,000 by the NFL for texting from the bench area during a preseason game against the New York Jets. The Eagles appealed the fine, arguing that DiSandro had only one foot in the bench area, but the appeal was denied. DiSandro, known as 'Big Dom,' has been a prominent figure in the Eagles organization, previously involved in a sideline altercation in 2023.

The fine highlights the NFL's strict regulations regarding conduct during games and the importance of maintaining professionalism on the sidelines. DiSandro's actions and the subsequent penalty could serve as a reminder to teams about adhering to league rules.
