There is a reason the Seahawks “staffer” who got into an altercation with Eagles wide receiver A.J.Brown isn’t getting treated like Dom DiSandro.
“Big Dom,” as he’s otherwise known, has been banned from the sideline for the rest of the season following his ejection stemming from a confrontation with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw a few weeks ago.
