Sometime after the death of Carmine Sr. on the Sopranos, Junior started to fixate on the athletic potential of others.
In particular at times he would make comments such as "He never had the makings of a varsity athlete". Junior would make these remarks at awkward times such as during a sit down with Carmine Jr.'s supporters or at dinner with Tony which angered the latter greatly.
What was with Junior and this "Varsity Athlete" obsession? I figured it was part of the many signs that he was gradually developing alzheimer's/dementia. Esp. since these remarks made little sense in their context at least to me. But then again it also seemed to be playing on Tony's insecurities.
Can anyone shine any light on this?
