Kyle Shanahan went off on Big Dom after the game Sunday without admittedly, his words not mine, knowing the full story. Imagine trying to muddy Big Dom’s name based off of hearsay!
“I just can’t believe someone not involved in a football game can taunt our players like that, and put their hands in our guy’s face.”

How about boy genius get his facts straight before throwing around accusations of putting a finger in a player’s face? Does anyone see a finger in Dre Greenlaw’s face here? Anyone?! ANYONE!?!

IT’S A WITCH HUNT!
You can say whatever you want about the People’s Paisan, but you can’t say he isn’t a professional.
That’s why Shanahan is already walking back his comments about the Dominator:
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan took a softer stance toward Eagles security guy Dom DiSandro today, saying he’s heard DiSandro is a good guy and he hopes punishment isn’t too harsh:
“There’s nothing he did that was extraordinarily bad. He just shouldn’t be around that area.”

Remember this is the dude Kyle Shanahan tried to bury:

A day after being labeled the #1 enemy in the country by everyone outside of Philadelphia, he shows up to a charity foundation for a couple former colleagues. Charitable. Dependable. Friend. Masculine. Only a couple of the boatload of characteristics people would use to describe Big Dom.
It tortures me to imagine his Sunday Gravy Night at Nonna’s was ruined because he had to deal with bullshit from the game. I mean even before the incident Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen were talking about the Italian restaurant Big Dom recommended to them that was so good they went back for dinner again. Does that sound like the monster that people are making him out to be? Absolutely not. Big Dom is the kid on the playground who everyone thinks is a bully because he grew up so fast and might’ve had a mustache at 10 years old. When really he’s just a gentle giant once you get to know him.
People want to make the argument about he’s not supposed to be there. Uhhhhhh he’s Head of Security. He’s protecting the players and Nick Sirianni. Ask Monica Seles if she wishes she had her own Big Dom. I mean he put his hand on a dude in borderline full tactical gear to make sure nothing escalated. If Greenlaw doesn’t swipe his finger across Big Dom’s upper lip, no one gets ejected. Could you imagine what would’ve ensued if Big Dom wasn’t there? Chaos.
If Big Dom is suspended Lane Johnson should carry out Big Dom’s Nike windbreaker out of the tunnel like he did Jason Peters’ jersey in the Super Bowl:
P.S. One caveat I didn’t expect that has made this whole thing even funnier is the #FreeDom hashtag spells out Freedom. Which if you ask me helps Big Dom’s case with the NFL. Are you going to suspend the poster boy of freedom?
