Yeah, somebody not involved with the game laying a hand on a player has to be dealt with swiftly and permanently.

Doesn't matter........ non-football staff members from opposing teams have no business in any altercation with players. Period.....end of story. The league needs to send a clear message all teams need to keep their non-football staff members in check.The altercation didn't even approach "slap fight" standards.
The reaction isn't as much about the incident itself, it's about the penalties. One team lost lost their All-Pro LB, the other team lost someone that has absolutely no bearing on game play or results on the field. The refs didn't even throw a flag against the Philly bench, replay officials said they could not levy an on-field penalty against Philly since one was not thrown against them at the time.Massive overreaction.
Offsetting personal fouls and a fine for both parties and play ball.

The very same emotions that lead to that in-the-moment kerfuffle also gave us a great game to enjoy.

Not everyone is allowed on the sideline.Massive overreaction.

Right. It sets a very scary standard for the NFL... my prediction both him and the Eagles get severely punished by the league.this exactly, if not why not hire a goon every week to taunt the other teams best players
I'm not sure they will get punished but I bet he is told to get his Fat arss behind the benches and stay there or get removed by the league.Right. It sets a very scary standard for the NFL... my prediction both him and the Eagles get severely punished by the league.
I'm not a "period, end of story" kinda guy. Circumstances matter.Doesn't matter........ non-football staff members from opposing teams have no business in any altercation with players.

He doesnt need to be on the sideline.. I'm sure they will tell them to keep him behind the benches from now on..but he did instigate that he went into Greenlaw first, thats not good for him.I'm not a "period, end of story" kinda guy. Circumstances matter.
Banning the guy from his longtime career for a couple seconds of bad judgment, simply because of optics is a massive overreaction.
A bench penalty, the walk of shame on national television and a fine is plenty. If you're going to ban the staffer for touching a player then you have to ban the player for his part in initiating the confrontation to begin with.
It's not like haymakers were getting thrown around. Security dude was on the sideline and the fight came to him. If it happened again, see ya, but these guys aren't robots
I would have called offsetting penalties, made them shake hands and let's play ball.
I was talking more about the reaction in this thread. The calls for security dude to be banned for life.The reaction isn't as much about the incident itself, it's about the penalties.

If you remember the Cowboys/Charger game, there was an altercation before the game. The following day the League sent a memo about what happened and similar to what happened last night. Basically Zero Tolerance and they would levy harsh penalties and fines up to loss of draft picks. While the altercation itself seems minor, it was fortunate for the 9ers and League that it didn't assist in altering the outcome of the game from losing their AP LB. They won't lose a draft pick, but I think the League is gonna come down hard to try and deter another situation like this.I was talking more about the reaction in this thread.

I would have handled it differently if I was the ref.
Of course then I would have been fired and banned from NFL stadiums for trying to be reasonable.
If there was a 'Build a Goon' store tell me this stuffed piece of crap isn't exactly the model of goon ******* Sirianni would build.Dude could give our Coach a run for his money on the buffet and fat jokes.
So appropriate that it was an Eagle staff member to be the first one to do something like this.
They should ...........the last players need to worry about is getting into some altercation with the opposing team's non-football staff members.If you remember the Cowboys/Charger game, there was an altercation before the game.

like @Tabascocat said, a paper bag, a stunt double cause I ain't touching that thing, and massive amounts of alcohol just for the thought of it. You agree, @Runwildboys ?
