Let's be honest here. There's a reason all the old guys who came out of jail, or even Junior, couldn't respect him. He was a punk. He ran his crew with no discipline. For example, when Chrissy was a nothing, an errand boy, back in '95, he was allowed to interrupt two made guys talking (Tony and Puss) about Family business. That's against the code. He lets Chris and Brendan, two associates, off lightly when they hijack Junior's truck - a high level Captain. This same act almost got Junior killed by Jackie back in '95.

When Richie took down Beansie (the first time), Beansie was right. The guy had a right to earn. What does Tony do? Instead of having a sitdown and taxing Richie for not coming to him first, and telling Beansie to kick up to Richie, he instead comes down hard on Richie, and doesn't give him anything. He sides with a civilian over an established wiseguy, a skipper.

He lets Davey Scatino walk scott free from Richie, again siding with a civilian, when Richie is in the right - Davey already owes Richie money, and he's playing in the Executive Game?

He treats Feech with contempt and takes a heavy handed approach to a guy who was a living legend.

He bumps Christopher, newly made, over Patsy, a well established made guy.

He bumps Gigi, a soldier in his crew, up to Capo of the Aprile crew, even though Ralph is the more qualified, better earning guy and has the respect of the Aprile soldiers - purely out of dislike for Ralph.

He coddles Christopher even after Christopher is revealed to be a drug addict, who openly insults Silvio, and Tony to their faces at the intervention. He spares Chris when Chris openly threatens Tony's life and pulls a gun on him, in the middle of Sil's club no less. He again spares Chris when it's discovered he's been living with a rat for at least a year and may or may not have shared damning things with her.

Let's be honest here. For as interesting as Tony was as a protagonist, in Mafia terms, he was a Punk. A disgrace. He only made it as far as he did because of his father, and because no one else wanted to be Boss.

Thank You for someone finally saying it. He was a Punk. He was egotistical and he obviously had many insecurities that he took out on others.

I was watching some Sopranos videos on youtube a couple of days ago and saw the clip of Tony eating at Bobby and Janice's house with Bobby's kids there. I know Janice could be annoying as hell but what he said and the way he acted in their home was inexcusable.

That's a good one but it's from when they were at Bobbys cabin.

At dinner Tony asks "What's French for I don't have a mother? Sacre Bleu where is me momma?" or something like that.

Both were hilarious.

Yep, you're right, got those scenes mixed up. In the cabin they get in to that fist fight, which will hurt Tony's fragile ego tremendously.

I love the show and still watch it to this day but tony is a rat. What he did with fetch would never be accepted in the street or the prison system. That's cooperation. Anyone who's ever been in the street knows this and even more so if you've been incacerated. Chase fkd up with that one or maybe he didn't and he inteded on us seeing tony for what he is. I wouldn't say he was a punk ... He didn't seem to have fear in his heart but he was insecure to the point it would have gotten him killed or locked up early in the gamein real life.

In real life, Richie Aprile would have been whacked much earlier than he was. A boss of a family is not gonna tolerate disobedience, not even from a capo. The moment Tony says "don't touch Beansie", that puts Beansie under Tony's protection. The BOSS's protection. And Richie had the balls to attack him again? He had the balls to disrespect Tony's poker game?

I felt that was so unrealistic with Richie. He disobeyed and disrespected Tony at every turn. No realistic mob boss would ever stand for it.

Tony was a yuppie gangster. He even admitted it in the first season when he was talking to his mother about going to the retirement community. And because he was a yuppie that was only concerned about himself and the disrespect he showed to some of the older gangsters in his family and New York I don't think he would have fared well in prison. In the end if he was facing a major RICO indictment I think he would have flipped.

So disrespectful. James Gandolfini was a great actor and a great human being. How dare you even say such a thing.


You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, :You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us.: You understand? We were good fellas.

It was a tax. Again, Richie going Little Caesar right in front of important civilian clientele, among them Frank Sinatra Jr. That game is more important than Richie's petty beef with Scatino, which was also a challenge to Tony. I doubt Richie came down that hard on other people who were behind in payments. He was hoping to get a response from Tony.

All Spot on Oak, with this addition...... Richie and Feetch were threats to what T had set up and had in motion of future plans, one slip up , indiscretion or any unloyal act, in the wrong direction for them that favors elimination, then you gotta go. He baited them, like letting him date his sister and seeing how they took reprimands.

Wasn't Genovese ratted out by Gambino and Costello in 59? So what Tony did to Feech wasn't unheard of in the mob. The mob has seen everything now, rat bosses, gay soldiers, in Italy they had mafioso become women etc Carmine Galante supposedly wanted to give a button to his daughter. Saying "X" WOULD never happen in the mob is impossible to say.

I'm sure Tony cleared the Feech situation up with other families, particularly the Lupartazzis. Tony would have had to kill Feech to banish him. So, instead of killing him, he banished him by sending him back to prison. If Tony made it clear to other families that his plan A is to kill Feech, which he was in his right to do, especially after robbing the Freid wedding, then I'm sure they'd accept his logic that banishing him to prison was a humane alternative to killing him. Let the old man spend his final years playing cards and telling his stories in the can. I could see Tony selling this.

Gambino and Costello setting up Vito Genovese is a good example. Pretty much the same scenario. Sure, it was technically against the rules, but those who make the rules break them. That's life. Who was going to go to war with the old Luciano and Mangano clans? I believe Lucchese backed the Vito Genovese set up, too.

Ur 100% right about tony. In real life, tony wouldn’t have much respect due to his unprofessional hot headed nature, as well as the fact that he basically resorted to murder whenever a conflict came up. Not to mention that he sponsored his junkie nephew, assaulted made men ( mike palmice, ralph cifferetto), and saw a therapist. The sopranos was a gr8 show, but so inaccurate.

I felt that was so unrealistic with Richie. He disobeyed and disrespected Tony at every turn. No realistic mob boss would ever stand for it.

I agree with you, that's true !


I agree as well. It was all very unrealistic. At the very least, that little stunt by Richie with Beansie would've cost him a fortune !!! In the real world of that life, Tony could and would have demanded that Richie now kick up to him the amount of money he was losing by Beansie being out of commission in addition to any and all of Beansie's medical expenses. He would've been well within his right to make him pay up and then kill him afterward, just for defying him so blatantly. Beansie was under Tony's protection. It wasn't a matter of " taking the side of a civilian " as Richie told Tony.

Richie only came down hard on Beansie to get Tony's attention. Same with Dave Scatino. What's the coincidence? Tony's high school buddies. Good thing Artie was smart enough to never borrow money from Richie.
