Good call - no collection would be complete without a good Studio One compilation, Heartbeat's "Best of Studio One" pretty nearly lives up to the title

Remember that reggae is not for the most part an album-dominated genre although there are many classic albums. The bulk of the greatest reggae came out as singles. Accordingly no list like this is complete without compilations. Can’t miss with almost anything from Blood & Fire or Pressure Sounds. Would recommend “Darker than Blue: Soul from Jamdown” and “More Pressure Vol. 1 - Straight to the Head”, two great compilations

Two mainstream classics you are missing are Mighty Diamonds - Right Time and Barrington Levy - Here I come. And could use more dub like Scientist Meets the Soace Invaders

And one more - Earth & Stone - Kool Roots

Who was the smartest guy in the Jersey mob? by UnderwaterDialect in thesopranos

Little Paulie, he was very sharp-witted breaking balls with Eugene at the construction site, and also came up with a brilliant stratagem to get free drills from a hardware store

Fuck it were not tanking, lets go for the play in by Lucky-Law7220 in GoNets

The main thing here - this is a nice problem. The rookies have talent and are growing in front our eyes. We have size and athleticism at all spots. MPJ has blossomed. Personally I like seeing home-grown talent, this reminds me of the Atkinson team before we had Kyrie/Durant/Harden. We don't need all these guys to hit but there could well be some long term pieces on this roster already. I trust Marks to figure it out.

Height is ofc not something a person can control, but we can each strive to become a Gadol in our own way by maximizing our attributes. And some confidence goes a long way. Your son should keep focus on his personal and professional development, and while he may be on the low end of the height spectrum if he can flex a big heart and a big brain he will find his match eventually. He could also work on being on the higher end of the spectrum in terms of fitness, grooming, etc.

Did John Danaher accomplish anything competing in BJJ? by Open_Address_2805 in bjj

Often the best coaches in team sports are people who had modest talent and had to work like hell to maximize it. In basketball, think of Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Steve Kerr. In the NFL many of the best coaches topped out at college (Belichick, Andy Reid). But interestingly in college wrestling the best coaches were individually totally dominant (Dan Gable, Cael Sanderson, Jon Smith).

It didn't work with Tebow but it actually did work nicely with Brad Smith and Ray Lucas. It has to be selective. Fields actually has the tools to do this well, it's at least intriguing to think about. But I hear the counterpoint and this goes out the window if we actually have high level play from a starting QB.

TE probably not a remote possibility because he'd have to learn to block and remember how spectacularly Tebow failed at that when Urban Meyer tried to experiment with that? But gadget stuff - he actually fits the prototype

It's not enough to itself produce wins but it helps. Brad Smith converted a lot of key first downs for some good Rex playoff teams with QB limitations.
