Throwback to our greatest draft pick of all time.

@AceCrad0688 @Bigmos553 @espn @PatrickMahomes Yeah, but you have a low IQ and look like Gimli 🤣

Officially official ✍️ @tkelce is back for his 14th year!

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real.

The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later.

Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him.

Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman.

Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact.

95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.

📊 Kader Kohou stats as a Miami Dolphin:

➖ 4 seasons
➖ 47 games played
➖ 180 combined tackles
➖ 13 TFLs
➖ 5 QB hits
➖ 1.0 sack
➖ 2 forced fumbles
➖ 28 passes defended
➖ 3 interceptions

One of the best undrafted finds in Dolphins history. Thank you for everything, @_kader___! #PhinsUp

[Kansas City Chiefs @Chiefs]

Excited to hit the ground running 💨 @Kenneth_Walker9

[trollburner @trollburner]

@SleeperWSH @InHarmsWay19 Such a good LB man. Sad to see him go.

[trollburner @trollburner]

@Conner_DKC I had the same thought! Look at what our two corners just got paid and what the top edges just got paid. They have a top pic and are good at finding DB’s in all levels of the draft. Also added Tyquan at a very reasonable deal. If free an agency ended, who’s your top draft pick?

[trollburner @trollburner]

@AllbrightNFL If you think that same exact team is a number one seed this upcoming season, you’re crazy.

[trollburner @trollburner]

@RyanMoore5855 @getnickwright Yeah it sucks to let the guys walk, but the Chiefs for all their struggles in the draft are VERY good at finding and developing secondary players all 3 days of the draft. It’s much harder for them to find pass rush. They still have glaring holes but they are closer than they were

[New Heights @newheightshow]

#ChiefsKingdom how we feeling?

[Chris Jones @StoneColdJones]

Tonga is a dawg

[trollburner @trollburner]

@mahomesdahgoat I don’t expect him to get $25 mil anywhere. He’s probably somewhere around $18 mil

[trollburner @trollburner]

@Zach_Segars @beems34 @SamMcDowell11 You also can’t trade past picks. So…. It’s a great player that you traded for great value and don’t pay $30+ million to.

[trollburner @trollburner]

@Zach_Segars @beems34 @SamMcDowell11 *21st when he was drafted*, 4 years of cost controlled play, and a trade that saves them paying $30+ mil a year and gives them pick 21 in the current draft in capital is DEFINITELY a great all round process and trade🤷‍♂️

[trollburner @trollburner]

@gavinperez11 @ZabastianDunn1 @PolymarketBlitz Sneed was definitely snubbed all-pro in 2023 and a big reason they had success that season and more. Certainly “comparable” in their time with the Chiefs lol

[trollburner @trollburner]

@gavinperez11 @ZabastianDunn1 @PolymarketBlitz McDuffie is better IF he plays in the slot (which he doesn’t). Also comparing at the time both traded, I’d rather have Sneed. Obviously his production fell off and he got injured 🤷‍♂️but before that, he was the better outside corner.

[trollburner @trollburner]

@BKLando_ @zackeisen21 He’s an elite slot corner,great tackler and great blitzed/weapon.
He isn’t put him on anyone and they won’t produce guy. AJ Brown, Sutton etc. He struggles with the ball in the air especially vs bigger bodies.
Chiefs stopped using him how he was elite. 30M was too much IMO
