While we are never fully sure of a problem in seasons' past, we do see Tony gambling. Like I said, I think that it was a natural progression for Tony to have a gambling addiction. He has been so lucky for so long (as in not getting busted or killed) that he HAS to be cocky and high on himself. Tony even said it himself..."I survived a f***in gutshot wound. I'm one up on life." IMO, I think he should learn when he's been too lucky for something bad not to happen....

And it seems every episode this season focuses SO much on Tony either getting killed or in jail that it is almost TOO OBVIOUS to happen...

I agree with that article that Tony calling his men murderers was totally out of line. Even when he was telling Sil, "Why me? Cuz Im the boss of the family?" Tony should know better- what if someone was wearing a wire or the place was bugged?
