I would think a lifetime ban is a bit much, but would be okay with double secret probation.
Well now. The NFL has handed down the "punishment". Not quite a slap on the wrist. Dom DiSandro is barred from being on the Eagles sideline for one (1) game for stepping on the field and laying hands on a 49ers player. He'll still be able to travel with the team and perform his other duties. And the door is open to additional actions by the NFL.
Eagles’ security chief Dom DiSandro banned from sidelines during matchup vs. Cowboys
Back in my crew days, we had a guy banned for the year. His sin? He was on UCLA sideline. Owusu made his famous TD catch. He reacted with an excited “did you see that” or something similar. Mora went nuts. Called PAC 12 office. And they banned him.
Mora. I was always glad to see Stanford pound that twit.
Win out get No 1 seed. Which is great. Except it may mean they have to play both Cowboys and Eagles. Because the Cowboys will be the number five seed unless the Eagles lose again, which is doubtful given their schedule. They will play the lunar of the NFC south, which will be a crummy team that squeaks by on about eight and eight. But still will be seated at four because of the stupid way the NFL seeds. After the Cowboys blast that team, and assuming the Eagles in number two and Detroit in number three take care of six and seven respectively, that will leave the 49ers with Dallas.
If I were commissioner for a day, id change it so that the number one seed gets to pick who it plays in the Divisional round. It earned that right after 17 games. Plus it would be fun. Bulletin Board material…..
Even if the Cowboys take the NFC East from the Eagles, Eagles will then be the 5 seed with the easy matchup. So a 1 seed will either play Cowboys then Eagles or Eagles then Cowboys, so your point stands either way.
I'm less convinced this will happen. Remember for the Niners to play cowboys/eagles in some order (assuming they are 2/5 seeds), in round 1 the 2, 3, and 5 seeds need to win.
Even if teams are heavily favored (let's say 75%), that's a 42% chance of happening. Then to play the 2 seed the 2 seed needs to beat the 3 seed. Call this a 65% chance. Now our total is 27%. There is a reason that Vegas loves to sell you on 3 team parlays. We frequently underestimate the chance of the underdog winning and fail to account for the cumulative probability when stacking multiple games.
TLDR: NFL is unpredictable. Go all out for the 1 seed, bye, and home field advantage and worry about the rest later.
