Jimmy The Greek was from Steubenville. Famed handicapper on the NFL on CBS in the '80s. More famous for making a drunken comment about black athletes that got him fired. Probably most famous for once punching Brent Musburger. Jimmy says take the Jets minus 6. [cue '80s CBS sports theme]

No doubt Steubenville was heavily mobbed up. They talked about that on The Greek's ESPN 30 for 30 documentary. He learned how to bet and (and lay?) the pigskin games in Steubenville's mob casinos. The DeBartolos, former 49ers owners, are from Youngstown. Don Moldea, who's written books about the NFL being fixed, Jimmy Hoffa, etc, believed the DeBartolos were mobbed up. It's Ohio, man.

And, of course, the real Dino Crocetti (Dean Martin) is from Steubenville, who you named yourself after, you character you. You're nobody till somebody loves you.
