Well, if we're just going to nitpick the "realism" of the show, I really had a hard time believing that a relatively small Jersey family could get the okay to kill a New York boss (Phil Leotardo). But we all hated Phil, so we looked the other way. And from that point of view, that's why I think Tony dies at the ice cream shop, in retaliation for Phil getting whacked. But that's a subject that's been done to death here, so I'll leave it alone.
Exactly this was one of the few things i didn't like about the show. They made the Jersey mafia at the same level if not bigger than the New York mob. For anyone who does not know The Sopranos aree based on the decalvacante family. They were about half as powerful as any other NY Family. John gotti even referred to them as the minor league mafia. I know its a show but I think instead of having tony kill Phil they should of had Butch whack him
