Two weeks ago, Sean Stellato was almost the most-hated man in New Jersey. If you recall, he was scorned across the Garden State for doubling Tommy DeVito's meet-and-greet fees just before an event at a Morristown pizzeria. But Stellato is apparently working his way back into the good graces of NY Giants fans. And on Tuesday, Jan. 2, he won two of them back.
