Sean Stellato, agent for New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito, didn’t like being called ‘slimy’ by Peyton and Eli Manning during the latest ‘Manningcast’ associated with ‘Monday Night Football.’
‘I don’t know if that’s just him being a southern dude, but you know what, I look at it as elegant,’ Stellato said Tuesday morning on WFAN. ‘I don’t understand where “Slimy” comes from.’
‘I’m very curious, I’m not judgmental, so until he has a conversation with me — I met Peyton at the Pro Bowl in the hotel when my long snapper Andrew DePaola was a Pro Bowler. I don’t know where that came in,’ Stellato continued.
Stellato was decked out in all black on the Giants sideline with DeVito for the Giants game against the Green Bay Packers on Monday evening.
Peyton Manning took the jabs at Stellato a step further, saying he resembled Johnny Fontane of ‘The Godfather,’ who closely worked with the movie’s central Corleone family.

DeVito led the Giants to a victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football
DeVito’s performance behind center wasn’t limited because of Stellato on the sideline.
The Giants defeated the Packers 24-22 on a game-winning field goal as time expired.
DeVito completed 17-of-21 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown and wasn’t sacked during the game. DeVito also ran for 71 yards against Green Bay.
After injuries to Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor, DeVito stepped into New York’s starting role for a fifth consecutive week.
DeVito has led the Giants to three straight victories and out of last place of the NFC East at 5-8.
Whether Stellato can negotiate a better deal for DeVito has yet to be determined, as the Giants now have a big decision looming in the offseason of who starts for the team behind center moving forward.
If it’s DeVito, expect to see much more of Stellato on the sidelines.
