Eagles Fixer ‘Big Dom’ Reportedly Being Investigated Over Police Tampering Claim Floated By Emmanuel Acho

Dom DiSandro, a.k.a. “Big Dom,” is one of the more enigmatic figures in the NFL, and there aren’t many people who work behind the scenes in the league who’ve garnered more attention than the man who currently serves as the Director of Gameday Coaching Operations for the Eagles. He handled security for the team before stepping into that role, and he is reportedly at the center of an NFL investigation over a story Emmanuel Acho shared on a podcast.

The man most NFL fans know as “Big Dom” joined the Eagles as an Assistant to the Chief Security Officer in 1999, and he spent more than a decade in that role before being promoted to the position he initially was hired to support.

Most people had never heard of him before he was ejected from a game for grabbing 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw during a scuffle on the sidelines in 2023, and he became a bit of a folk hero in Philadelphia and a hot topic of conversation among NFL fans who couldn’t help but be captivated by the aura of the Absolute Unit who The Inquirer once described as a “Ray Donovan fixer.”

Big Dom has primarily focused on security matters for the team, but a number of people familiar with his tenure say he’s handles a wide variety of off-the-field matters for players and personnel with the help of the many connections he’s managed to cultivate in Philly and beyond.

There’s no proof he was the person who was involved in a fairly eye-opening story Emmanuel Acho shared over the summer, but it would appear the NFL believes there’s enough smoke to look into a possible fire.

The NFL is reportedly investigating Big Dom after Emmanuel Acho claimed a security member of a team he played for dispatched a friendly cop to the scene of a car accident

Emmanuel Acho signed with the Browns, Giants, and Eagles during his NFL career, but the retired linebacker only saw action in the regular season during his time in the City of Brotherly Love in 2013 and 2014 (appearing in a grand total of 20 games).

According to a story he shared on the Speakeasy podcast in an episode that came out on July 29th, he got into a car accident while heading to practice during his time on one of those squads and got an assist from an unnamed member of their security personnel after giving them a call.

Acho said he was informed he wouldn’t have to worry about taking the blame, saying:

“I hit up one of our security people. He says, ‘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.”

I was like, “Wait, they do that?” So, I hit him. Cop comes up. ‘Hey, is everything good?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah. Everything’s good. Everything’s good. Don’t worry about it. Somebody’s going to come here.’

That cop leaves. We send another cop. The other cop comes to says that she’s at fault.”

The saga didn’t end there, as Acho added the woman he hit followed up to complain about lingering injuries before withdrawing her complaints after the “head of security” offered her a couple of tickets to a game and some autographed jerseys.

Again, Acho did not mention anyone by name, but according to Derrick Gunn, the NFL connected the dots to the point where it felt like it had enough reason to conduct an investigation to determine if the security official in question was Big Dom.

That development also came to the attention of Asante Samuel, who labeled Acho a “gossip queen” while taking issue with his willingness to share the story in the first place.

Like I said before, watch who you do business with. We have an investigation going on because fool is dying for attention and a gossip queen smfh https://t.co/OEDG9wVkGg

I guess we’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.
