Charles Edward Greene, known as “Mean Joe” Greene, (born September 24, 1946) is a former all-pro American football defensive tackle who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League. Throughout the early 1970s he developed into arguably the most dominant defensive lineman in the NFL. He is considered by many to be one of the best defensive linemen to ever play the game and was the cornerstone of the famous “Steel Curtain” defense. He is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a four-time Super Bowl champion.

He is seen in Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater in a parody of a famous 1970s Coke commercial where he throws his jersey to a little boy that offers him his coke after a tough game. In this case, he throws Peter all of his clothes including his underwear. It should be noted the name on the back of the jersey is spelled 'Green' instead of 'Greene'.

In Road to Germany, he threw Stewie some uranium.
