[@thorbat]

I thought it was to say "Yeah Richie, you beat up Rocco like 20-30 years ago and if he wasn't already dead, he wouldn't remembah anyway, let it go, for Christ's sake." but I just noticed that the way Junior says it like he was implying he died shortly after the beating, so you're probably right.

[@keith6591]

It might not have meant anything. It could be junior just being mawkish and reminiscing, the way he often does.

Jesus Christ, HBO, is this how you spend your time? The average Sopranos fan would still be skimming for 12 year old 240p Sopranos clips if it wasn't for Borko.

Looked good on Tony,old school. This scene perfectly portrayed Ritchie's struggle with being released after 10 yrs. Its genuis level production and writing,actually used to happen frequently. The crews were realizing the old school guys who used to make the city run were now dealing w loose screws they couldn't tighten.

Tony was never LESS impressed with anything. Fine Corinthian leather. LOL Later on when Richie sees Tony’s maid’s boyfriend/husband wearing it I thought his head might explode.😂

[@mikesaucier3046]

I almost felt bad for Richie when he saw the guy wearing it. It obviously meant a lot to Richie, no matter how anyone else viewed it. Tony giving it away was a hug slap in the face.

[@ccali327]

The addition of this jacket is so brilliant on the writers' part. You couldn't find something that so humorously showed that Richie was so not with the times and completely opposed to Tony in almost every way, despite his attempt at Buddhism.
