Johnny regretted being boss. Tony regretted being in the mafia. All of John's regrets are his actions as boss. Tony has nightmares about murdering his friends and driving his other friends to suicide. One had a toxic work life. And the other had a fully toxic life.

If he didn't take the deal she would have been broke dead. The deal allows Johnny to keep the money from the New Orleans sale, the money from his house sale, the money from his wedding boosts which easily could be over $500K with guys paying their last tributes to the boss. Plus his wife's retirement is kept in tact without being seized. She moved into a home with her daughter which was likely a guest home next to a larger home. Carmela always goes into hysterics over money. Johnny and Ginny never mention money at all so she was likely taken care of. She cried over losing the house because of the memories and the idea that she'd never spend another day with her husband again. Don't forget, only two wives on the show ever loved their husbands. Karen loved Bobby. And Ginny loved John. She wasn't crying over money she was crying over missing her husband. We she the same with Angie. Tony takes care of her by paying her out of pocket AND hooking her and her brother up with a major business. Yet Carmela freaks out that she'll "end up like Angie" and then ends up hating Angie for running a business anyways. Carmela was just a hysteric. She rubs her Porsche in Ginny's face and Angie's face because she's a loser.

His picture was still hanging in the restaraunt with the other bosses and Billy Leotardo. The guys initially threw off on him for allocating but ultimately that didnt ruin 30 or 40 years of history. Everybody knew why he did it and admitting that he had been in the mob is ridiculous on the goverments part, like throwing tomatoes at him. It serves no purpose except to humiliate him because of mafia code, everybody knows there is a mafia and that Johnny Sack was in it It wasnt a revelation. People were mad at John Gotti for being so flashy and loving the spotlight which ultimately hurt him and many others but he did 10 years mostly in isolation at Marion trying to break him so he would flip. But he didnt, he never named names or cooperated which ultimately tempers alot of the criticism and hatred. Johnny was the same way, initial criticism tempered by history and him not flipping. They were missing John when Phil took over thats for sure.

Johnny Sack is probably my favorite Sopranos character of all time, his white hot temper and his interactions with Tony were nothing short of legendary!

what an amazing scene. excellent acting on your part, lou. seriously chilling the way you see johnny sack hardly able to walk, and you talking to a man whos clearly dead insidee (and out in many ways) while youre a young man whos talking to someone who in their hay day was literally a titan, and now theyre nothing.

Until ragnorok, the Christians refer to it as armageddon, doomsday, the final battle. Where we storm out of the gates of midgarrd shoulder to shoulder with the gods, and die fighting fenrir and when the last of us has fallen fenrir devours not just the world but reality itself. But we die with honor. Side by side with Odin, Thor, Frey, Freya, Baldor, Loki and the valkyries all in a glorious final battle. It doesn't matter if sometimes you loose the fight, it's that you stood and fought. Ragnorok.
