NY Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A Hudson Valley College Legend NY Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A Hudson Valley College Legend
NY Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A Hudson Valley College Legend The football world got its first taste of New York Giants Quarterback Tommy DeVito's agent on Monday night, but Massachusetts residents and many college football fans in New York already knew him.

Though, in true Portnoy fashion, he has a small grudge with the former Salem High School alum.  This motherfucker wrote a book about beating Swampscott my senior year. What a world! https://t.co/3wLRG84HF…
