They sent him to Tulsa specifically because there is absolutely no Family doing business there. They didn't want him cutting into their action or giving him back whatever rackets he was involved in in NY so they banished him to OK. Clearly none of those people had any loyalty to him or "This Thing of Ours". It was This Thing of Mine. Probably pretty accurate for today.

I thought the show was pretty good for what it was. If you're expecting Sopranos 2.0, you're going to be disappointed.
