Coach Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers ripped the Philadelphia Eagles and “Big Dom”; will the NFL punish them? SAW
No matter how adored the “Papa Bear” head of security may be inside team headquarters, the Philadelphia Eagles and “Big Dom” have caused an issue for the NFL. As a result, they’ve put themselves in a difficult situation, as 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has noted after San Francisco’s resounding victory at The Linc on Sunday.
Shanahan expressed shock at someone who isn’t even involved in a football game taunting our players and putting their hand in our guy’s face. He brought up the bizarre incident of Eagles security guard Dom DiSandro getting involved on the sidelines in a fight with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw.
Greenlaw was dismissed, and with good reason—the 49ers might have suffered from losing a key player. (Unfortunately, the Eagles’ 10-2 loss didn’t allow them to put that to the test.)
Subsequently, DiSandro was removed from the game, which was also justified because innocent bystanders and staff members aren’t permitted to confront players.
And sure, there is a rule in the NFL rulebook’s Section 1, Article 8 that addresses this. It says as follows: It is forbidden for non-player staff members of a club (such as managers, coaches, trainers, and equipment personnel) to make unwarranted physical contact with opponents, refer to them in an abusive, threatening, or derogatory manner, or use offensive language or gestures toward League representatives. It appears that the rule does not address what happens if the “prohibited” person still does it.
A 49ers player is thus sidelined. Additionally, a street-clothed Eagles player is out. So what, given how the rules are being applied here? It’s not exactly a fair exchange. And if the NFL’s only response to it is that? What would prevent every team from designating a “security guard” to fight a rival player in the hopes of receiving two ejections?
Certain boundaries are uncrossable. This is not negotiable or subject to debate. That applies to the Little League parent who becomes so enraged that he enters the field, to the spectator who hurls trash and bottles at players, and to what transpired here. Should a player stray beyond that boundary, the mechanism is designed to penalize them. When a “head of security” acts in this manner, or a mascot, a janitor, or a beer vendor? “Big Dom’s actions have compelled the NFL to establish a new regulation, which may need to be applied to the Eagles retrospectively in order to prevent this from happening in the future.”

SVP’s Biggest Thing: 49ers make a dramatic statement against the Eagles
Sunday in Philadelphia, the San Francisco 49ers made a loud and devastating statement with six straight touchdowns. the resonant kind. It wasn’t ambiguous or erratic; it could recur. After this one, the Philadelphia Eagles’ hold on home-field advantage may become a little shaky, so it might be in San Francisco. Why would the Niners care that it’s in Philadelphia, even after this crushing defeat?
Do you recall the Niners’ three-game losing run? Yes, I agree; same for me. The 49ers are now 5-0 this season against teams that had a winning record going into the game, and they are outscoring those teams by 22.2 points per game.
The Miami Dolphins won’t be playing anyone in their weight class until the final three games of the season. Even on a rainy day, they carry on creating fresh choreography and bringing the track meet to town in the interim. This season, they’re averaging 6.9 yards per play—a feat not seen since the 2000 St. Louis Rams, The Greatest Show on Turf. Just Tyreek Hill had his eighth day of receiving 100 yards or more, and his fifth with 150 or more.
The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans both improve to 7-5. It’s still hard for me to believe the Colts won a game that had more players from the buffet than you’ll see in most others. C.J. Stroud has been the Texans’ go-to player for game-winning drives at the conclusion of games. However, in order to maintain the lead, the defense had to make stops in this one, and there was a lot of young talent on the other side of the ball.
The Colts and Texans are presently ranked seventh and eighth in the AFC, respectively, and they will square off in Indianapolis in Week 18.
The Detroit Lions were able to win their ninth game against the New Orleans Saints thanks to a first down on a third and nine. That seemed like a big deal. Their defense has been failing miserably, and by the fourth quarter, they had only blown a 21-0 lead.
Although they had the option to run the clock instead of throwing on third and nine, Coach Dan Campbell is known for his aggressiveness on fourth downs. Nevertheless, he allowed Josh Reynolds and Jared Goff to make a play. The Lions attempted a third-down pass inside the 2-minute warning with a lead for just the third time in the previous 25 years. Reynolds only made one catch that day. But it was a significant one, earning victory number nine. This is the Lions’ best 12-game start in over 60 years.
The running back didn’t understand why because the 2020 EverBank Field game between the Jaguars and his team, the Cleveland Browns, was close. Not only did the “booing” occur during play breaks, but it also made no sense.
When he signed as a free agent with the Jaguars three years later, he discovered they weren’t jeering. They exclaimed, “Duuuval!” He was clueless as to its meaning.
“Because of how it sounded — Duuuval — I’m like, they must be booing, I don’t know,” Johnson stated. “I honestly had no idea what to anticipate, but now that I’m here, I understand the whole Duval situation.
Many will watch the Jaguars’ “Monday Night Football” (8:15 ET, ABC/ESPN) game against the Cincinnati Bengals and commit the same error. The uninitiated may find the Jaguars’ “Duuuval” fan chant to sound a lot like booing. They won’t be aware that it’s genuinely advantageous.
But what does it really mean? We investigated the history and cultural significance of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ well-known chant, which is phonetically pronounced Dooo-valll with emphasis on the first syllable but written as “Duuuval” with three U’s.
Jacksonville’s center is situated 25 miles south of the Georgia state line and is situated on Florida’s northeastern coast. The city is divided by the St. Johns River, which, despite popular belief, is not the only river in the country to flow north. According to the official website of the city, Jacksonville is the largest city in terms of area in the continental United States, spanning 875 square miles.
Jacksonville is also the county seat of Duval County, which has a population of just over one million people. The headquarters of Maxwell House Coffee are located in Jacksonville, which is also home to bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and writers Harriet Beecher Stowe and Ray Charles.
Why does any of this matter? Since everything is a part of what the chant signifies. According to Jessie Pawlish, a 33-year-old Jaguars supporter with a season ticket, it’s more than just a show of support. About and for the greater Jacksonville community, that is.
“This is our town,” stated Pawlish. “We constantly defend it. We constantly say, “This is our hometown.” We have existed here forever.
“I try to explain it to [individuals who are unaware of the chant]. It’s always interesting to me when people genuinely want to know. That moment when they ask, “What does that actually mean” We’re from Duval County, I say, giving that explanation. Duval County is home to Jacksonville. It’s simply who we are. However, Duval is also a mindset.
DJ Everette Eason, better known by his stage name Easy E, on 92.7 FM in the early 1990s “Duuuval” was a radio drop that The Beat used in his mix shows. He claimed to have heard the phrase for the first time on the streets, where people were using it to identify their origins.
Tee-Roy, a different local DJ at 93.3, and Eason The Beat, who currently emcees Jaguars games on the field, said they also used it when they worked in local clubs doing events and promotions.
Eason’s radio drop gained popularity fast, and hip-hop performers began utilizing it live. Rappers and other performers who traveled to Jacksonville for radio interviews and guest spots realized as it gained popularity
“Everybody has a real name, and you have a nickname,” Tee-Roy remarked. “There simply wasn’t a nickname for Jacksonville. We’re traveling all over Florida, so when you said Duval, they would know precisely where you were from. That was how we established Jacksonville’s identity.”
All of this took place prior to the 1995 Jaguars season. It wasn’t until much later that the chant became popular as a way to cheer on the Jaguars. When “Duuuval” moved from the radio and clubs to the football stadium is a matter of debate. Furthermore, no one can seem to recall which Jaguars player may have said it in its current form first.
