The breakout star of Monday night’s game between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers was hands-down Tommy DeVito’s agent Sean Stellato.

With his black pinstripe suit, gold chain and fedora, Stellato became a star on social media every time the cameras panned to him.

Stellato, who will soon be inducted into the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame (seriously), garnered even more attention Monday night thanks to Eli and Peyton Manning talking about him on their Manningcast of the game.

“He looks like Johnny Fontane from The Godfather,” Peyton said at one point during the contest.

At another point during the broadcast, Peyton remarked, “They’re showing the agent more than they do the Chiefs’ family section.”

Eli also got in on the discussion about Sean Stellato when he told the viewing audience, “Sean ‘Slimy’ Stellato. I got some inside intel from some of my boys, that was the nickname in college. Slimy. Thank you for that information. Great research.”

Stellato played college football for Marist before becoming a sports agent.

Unfortunately for Eli Manning, it appears that his “intel” was a little faulty.

Tuesday morning, Sean Stellato called in to Boomer and Gio on WFAN to dispute the nickname “Slimy.”

“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 on the show. “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 [Manning] 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. But if Peyton wants to challenge me a 40-yard dash has something more and I happen to do that.”

“I don’t know where that came from, but it is what it is,” Stellato added. “I think you might have watched too much Goodfellas.”
