Why Junior Soprano Never Had The Makings of a Varsity Athlete or Mob Boss

In this video, I discuss and analyze The Sopranos character Junior Soprano (official first name is Corrado). He's the uncle of Tony Soprano and plays a sizable role in The Sopranos story from the Pilot episode all the way to the very last episode. You know what they say: You Sopranos, you go too far! And I'd say Junior is no exception when it comes to letting his insecurities drive his decision-making, which does not usually bode well for bosses making life and death decisions.
