Little trouble at the Bada Bing.
Not one Italian name, though.
The episode where Chris gets made. He is running the sportsbook.
He is all nervous because everyone bet Oregon +11, vs USC.
He was like 'who cares, we have USC -11, they are up by 12, Oregon has the ball w/45 seconds & no time outs'
Then a guy working there, (also a detective from The Wire) is all yeah but Oregon has an All American kicker
Then Oregon makes the FG as time expires to lose by 9 and cover.
LOL, show me a football game where that's ever happened & I'll show you an investigation in fixing games.
Maybe if the spread was 9 and the FG got them to 8 and they had time for an onside kick,
but this would just reek of a game being fixed.
Sopranos is the still the best show ever, its just that Hollywood rarely gets gambling right.
Man killed outside New Jersey strip club featured in ‘The Sopranos’

A 38-year-old man died outside the New Jersey strip club featured in “The Sopranos” after he was jumped and beaten by a group of five men then struck by a car, cops said Monday.
San Francisco crowned the ‘world’s best’ city to live: survey

honestly tho the energy in that scene was actually quite flawless. like its in the top three list for that whole series run.
but i really want to get some feedback on something from someone with more direct knowledge of 'the life' then. paulie is taxing chris $6000 _A WEEK_ which comes to like $312,000 a year. i feel like they tacked an extra zero to the actual number because no one would give a shit about chris being like OH GOD OH SHIT IM $200 SHORT... but there is absolutely no way chris could possibly come up with $6000 a week, i cant buy that. that number is fucking huge today, and this show took place in like 2001?

I would not be surprised if they completely remake The Sopranos and bring it back to Television.
Gandolfini dying unexpectedly of a heart attack at age 51 kinda freaks me out because I'm close to that age, and unlike other celebrities who die young, it doesn't appear his death was a result of reckless living.
It probably didn't help that he toured Rome in the hot, humid summer that day, but his death actually occurred at night.
Still, scary to think about how everything can seem totally fine and normal, and then you're just gone.
random things from the internet...
"Earlier in his life, Gandolfini struggled with alcohol and cocaine use, two other factors that increased his chances of having a heart attack. His alcoholism was something he admitted to publicly, and his last meal was rumored to be fried food and eight alcoholic drinks."
...it's whatever, but he doesn't really have face of a man that stopped drinking after a rehab stint 10ish years ago before he died.
Not exactly a reputable source...

For Druff lowering the chance of heart attack is mostly tied to lowering blood pressure.
Genetics play a small direct impact. Bigger indirect, but that's not something you can do too much about. Just that if you have family history in any medical issue you need to work more.
For Druff dietary changes, increased mobility and relieving stress likely would do the most.
You can induce a heart attack with a single vice taken to extreme. Second dinner is close, but not quite there. It's more a single excessive strike to the system that does it. Most often seen with drugs ODs.
For Gandolfini it was likely 30 years of overeating, drinking, sedentary lifestyle and few other unknows that took him down. For most people it's that mix of 3-5 excesses for decades that finally break them down.
In unsolicited advice department the easiest thing for Druff is to get a new dog that requires more maintenance. Something in the 2 30 mins walks a day department. Get it as pup so you can ease yourself into it.
For diet, look for inconvenient ways to cut salt and increase fibers.
Stress part is the hard one. Random qualities made you a wealthy man. Those same qualities will kill you. Stressing about shit is fine when you're young. Other than working towards things that make you happy vs things that piss you off, i don't really have any advice.
For what it’s worth I’d be totally fine with dying after having dinner in Trastevere.
Place is absolutely awesome. I can not wait to go back there some day.

Pretty crazy that Gandolfini’s son is playing Tony in the prequel movie. My expectations for the movie are relatively low but I’ll give it a watch.
The Wire was the most overrated show ever IMO.
