Peyton Manning Stirs Drama Surrounding Tommy DeVito's Agent

Peyton Manning's comments on Tommy DeVito's agent, Sean Stellato, have caused some drama between the two individuals.

During their “ManningCast” show, brothers Peyton and Eli Manning, who are also former NFL quarterbacks, talked about Tommy DeVito's agent as he grabbed the attention of viewers everywhere for his outfit choice on "Monday Night Football."

Eli informed Peyton that Sean Stellato's nickname in college was “slimy,” to which the former Indianapolis Colts QB, said he thought it was the “perfect” nickname for Stellato.

Peyton also said that the NFL agent “looked like Johnny Fontane from ‘The Godfather'."

Following Peyton's comments, the NFL agent spoke out, expressing his "disappointment" in the former NFL star.

“To be honest with you, I personally was disappointed in Peyton,” Stellato told NESN. “This is someone who has done so much for the game, and he was obviously a runner-up to (Tom) Brady in every category. But to make a statement like that of someone — outside of meeting me at the Pro Bowl — I thought it was disappointing."

Resembling a typical Italian, New Yorker, Stellato was seen on the sideline, chatting it up on the phone, dressed to the nines in a pinstripe suit and fedora. That is when the Manning brothers began to discuss his outfit choice, with Peyton saying it resembled Johnny Fontane from "The Godfather."

Following the comments, Stellato added, "That’s not how I operate. I’m very curious, not judgmental. But look it, as a player, as an agent I let my results speak for themselves. I don’t even know if Peyton ever even saw the movie ‘The Godfather.’ Did they even show that in Mississippi or wherever he grew up? It is what it is.”

Although Eli Manning said Stellato's nickname was "slimy," the NFL agent denies that was ever the case.

“I don’t know where that even came from,” Stellato told the outlet of his supposed nickname. “A lot of my college buddies were like, ‘You were so slimy on the field no one could touch you.’ … But I feel strongly what I just said in terms of the response to the remarks he made.”

A video of Tommy DeVito’s agent and DeVito's father went viral after DeVito’s dad grabbed Stellato and kissed him on the cheek

“Tommy’s father grabbed me and gave me the biggest smooch on the cheek. He and I have a very close relationship. It was one of those moments where we’re just family,” Stellato said of the moment, which was caught on camera. “When you really care about someone and you’re excited, a kiss is kind of sacred in our heritage. I’m a reciprocator. I wanted to let him know this is how I feel, too.

“Then the beauty of it then, it was like in sync and ricocheted to his son Max. It was pretty special. It was cool. At the end of the day, it wasn’t staged. It was organic. Everyone got a kick out of it.”

After Stellao went viral for his outfit, he spoke out on why he chose the flashy ensemble, crediting Rocky Balboa and Frank Sinatra.

“The hat is kind of my thing,” Stellato expressed following the game. “I love Rocky Balboa and Frank Sinatra. I feel like I’m, in a nutshell, it is part of the lineup. Maybe people will judge a little bit but at the end of the day, it’s something that I’ve embraced. I’ve always admired that look.”
