You have to remember Lou that I don't think Feech and Richie both respected Tony enough to give him that respect. Remember that both of them even defied Tony after being told not to do so. Feech with him getting into the mess with Paulie over the grass cutters and Richie with the drugs on the garbage routes and most of all Beansie. You also have to remember both actually "sat down" with Tony to ask to get back into business.
