Netflix dropped a trailer for its SEC football series, and fans were absolutely thrilled

While we don't yet know exactly what the series will focus on, it seems to take a wide look at the conference and will "offer an exclusive look at key matchups throughout the SEC season." In the trailer, we got behind-the-scenes looks at LSU's Brian Kelly and Whit Weeks, Vanderbilt breakout quarterback Diego Pavia and Graham Mertz, a two-year starting quarterback at Florida whose college career ended with a torn ACL last October.
That's likely just scratching the surface of the storylines that will be covered in the documentary, and if you're a fan of an SEC team (or just a college football connoisseur, in general), this will be a must-watch.
Unsurprisingly, fans were thrilled at the announcement of the upcoming series.

Counting down the top 11 safeties in LSU history: Where do Delpit, Landry, and Adams rank?
LSU football has a rich history at the safety position. Few programs produce secondary talent on LSU's level, which has earned LSU the nickname of DBU (defensive back university). Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, LSU built elite defenses on the backend. In the 2000s, we saw Laron Landry and Craig Steltz play at an All-American level. Jamal Adams and Grant Delpit continued that tradition a decade later. But the tradition started before those players were even born with guys like Greg Jackson leading the way in the 1900s. These lists are never easy. It's hard enough to decide on the 10 most deserving names. After it's narrowed down, it's even harder to find the right order, especially with the amount of talent that's come through Baton Rouge over the years. I tried to consider a variety of factors, from raw talent, production, all-conference accolades, All-American honors, and NFL Draft position. Here are the 11 best safeties in LSU football history. 11. Chad Jones Jones spent three years at LSU and played in all 40 games, making 19 starts. As a junior in 2019, Jones racked up 74 tackles, three picks, with six pass breakups. Jones was quick to make an impact after arriving at LSU. As a true freshman, he made 34 tackles, three tackles for loss, two sacks, a pick, a forced fumble, and three pass breakups. It wasn't just defense where Jones made his impact. Against Mississippi State in 2009, Jones returned a punt 93 yards for a touchdown to give LSU a 30-21 lead in the fourth quarter. That score proved to be key as LSU won 30-26. Jones was a two-sport standout and won a national title with the football team and the LSU baseball team. 10. Craig Burns Burns wasn't all that different from Jones, except he wore the LSU uniform 35 years earlier. Burns was a playmaker in the secondary who also returned punts and was a star on the baseball team. Burns eight interceptions in 1970 is tied for first place in program history. He finished his career with 12 picks, one of the best marks in LSU history. Burns earned second-team All-SEC honors in 1970. Burns had a career day with three picks vs. Ole Miss in 1970. 9. Liffort Hobley Hobley picked off 10 passes in his LSU career, one of the best marks in program history. Six of those picks came in 1984, when Hobley was an All-SEC safety. Hobley came up big in the Sugar Bowl vs. Nebraska, picking off two passes. He earned All-SEC honors twice in his career and was a third-round pick in the 1985 NFL Draft. 8. Craig Steltz Steltz is one of four LSU safeties to earn consensus All-American honors. Steltz didn't become a full-time starter until his final year with LSU in 2007, but he made the most of it. Steltz was a team captain on a national championship-winning defense. He picked off six passes and forced three fumbles. Steltz's 11 career interceptions. Steltz was a finalist for the Thorpe Award, annually given to the top defensive back in college football. He was a first-team All-SEC and a fourth-round pick in the NFL Draft. 7. Eric Reid Reid was a member of LSU's dominant secondary in 2011. Reid's 2011 interception vs. Alabama is remembered as one of the best plays in LSU history. In the fourth quarter of a 6-6 game, Reid wrestled a jump ball away from Alabama's tight end to secure the turnover. LSU went on to win 9-6. That moment was representative of the plays Reid made throughout his LSU career. Reid was a first-team All-American in 2012 and a second-team All-American in 2011. He earned all-conference honors in 2011 and 2012 before moving on to be a first-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. 6. Greg Jackson Jackson earned first-team All-American honors in 1988 from Gannett News Service. He was named first-team All-SEC by the Associated Press and SEC coaches. Jackson came up with seven picks in 1988. Jackson was dangerous with the ball and his 219 interception return yards in 1988 remain an SEC record. He was a team captain as LSU went 6-1 in conference play thanks to a stellar defense. Jackson was a versatile secondary player who went on to be a third-round pick in the 1989 NFL Draft. 5. Jamal Adams Jamal Adams is one of the most talented defenders to wear the LSU uniform. He was a five-star recruit before the New York Jets selected Adams with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Adams made an impact as a true freshman in 2014, but saw his career take off in 2015. Adams earned second-team All-SEC recognition and finished the year with 67 tackles, five tackles for loss, six pass breakups, and four interceptions. In 2016, Adams took it up a notch, earning first-team All-American honors. LSU's 2026 defense was one of the best in the nation with Adams holding it down in the secondary. Few LSU defenders were as fun to watch as Jamal Adams. 4. Grant Delpit Grant Delpit won the Thorpe Award in 2019 as a leader on LSU's national championship-winning defense. He was a consensus All-American and first-team All-SEC. But for as good as Delpit was in 2019, he was even better in 2018, when he was a finalist for the Nagurski Award. In 2018, Delpit led the SEC with five picks and ranked No. 2 in the SEC in pass breakups. He finished the year with 74 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and five sacks. It's hard to find another player who made Delpit's impact in coverage, stopping the run, and rushing the passer. Delpit did it all, and he did it at an elite level, leaving LSU with a national title ring. 3. Chris Williams Coming in at No. 3, we have LSU's all-time interceptions leader Chris Williams. Williams played corner and safety at LSU, but he played enough safety to be on this list. Williams picked off 20 passes at LSU, including an eight-interception campaign in 1980. Williams earned first-team All-SEC honors that year. Williams was a second-team All-SEC in the prior season, too. Williams was a top contributor at LSU from 1977-1980 and was a second-round pick in 1981. It's tough to find a player who made a high impact like Williams in all four years. 2. LaRon Landry Landry's talent speaks for itself. It's why he was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. Landry's resume is strong, and he has a case to be the top-ranked player on this list. Landry was a second-team All-SEC in 2003 as a member of LSU's national championship-winning defense. In 2004, Landry earned all-conference recognition again. In 2005, Landry earned third-team All-American honors. And then in 2006, Landry was a Thorpe Award semifinalist, first-team All-SEC, and first-team All-American. Landry's 315 career tackles rank top 10 in school history, and his 12 career interceptions rank third in LSU history. 1. Tommy Casanova Tommy Casanova was a two-time consensus All-American in the secondary for LSU. Casanova made an impact in all three phases of the game, contributing on offense and special teams, too. Casanova emerged in 1970 as one of the best players in the nation. He entered 1971 in the Heisman conversation, but an injury in 1971 cost Casanova five games. Casanova still managed to earn first-team All-American honors again. Casanova was selected in the second round of the 1972 NFL Draft. As a pro, he went on to be a three-time Pro Bowler. Casanova finished his LSU career with three first-team All-SEC selections.

'Bridgerton' star Charithra Chandran stunned at Wimbledon. Then, the internet came for her.
'Bridgerton' Netflix star Charithra Chandran stole Andrew Garfield's spotlight at Wimbledon after a video of her seated behind him went viral. A fan account for Garfield posted a clip of the actor enjoying a match at Wimbledon. The attention soon turned to Chandran in the background. 'All eyes on the brown queen behind him,' one X user wrote in a post with 17 million views. 'Charithra Chandran is one of the most beautiful people to exist,' another user replied. But the replies just as quickly turned sour when the internet began picking apart Chandran's appearance, posting side-by-side photos of her with and without makeup, calling her "mid" and accusing her of having filler and plastic surgery. 'All she did was look beautiful at Wimbledon. and now incels have decided (she) should be their next target,' one X user pointed out in a post with 5 million views. 'The funny thing is that she looks stunning even in the worst pics that they could find of her,' another user replied. Chandran's trolls demonstrate the double bind women are faced with — if you go natural, you're not doing enough. If you wear makeup, you're doing too much. Either way, you can't win. Picking apart a woman's appearance illustrates "a sexist double standard in which women are judged over their appearance in ways that men are not," says author Leora Tanenbaum. It is also a way to "police" women, she adds, and "perpetuates a narrow beauty ideal that is unattainable for most, especially women of color." The makeup vs. no makeup debate The 'unrecognizable makeup' trend has had the internet in a tizzy, with some people using makeup to complete full facial transformations. The problematic joke, 'Take her swimming on the first date,' has been around for nearly a decade –– it's tossed around by men who claim that seeing a woman without makeup early-on is the only way to avoid getting 'bamboozled' into dating someone unattractive. In 2021, actress Sydney Sweeney — who has often been praised for her looks — cried on Instagram Live while trending on X (then, Twitter) for 'being ugly." In October 2024, Sweeney was photographed on set with a brunette curly wig, baggy clothing and no apparent makeup. Then, she was featured in an X thread with 11 million views titled 'Catfish of the Year,' comparing a photo of her on a red carpet to candid paparazzi shots. Another user came to her defense: ''Sydney Sweeney is a catfish' sir if you cannot recognize that a blonde woman does not wake up with jet black eyelashes and face glitter then you might be too stupid to reach.' So annoying tbh #makeup #mua Many women have pushed back against criticism of makeup, arguing that makeup is 'art' and not 'a form of lying.' "A beautiful woman, we've been taught, is beautiful naturally with no visible effort on her part," Tanenbaum says. "But we all know that it's impossible to conform to our societal beauty ideals with no effort." And in a digital landscape where beauty filters and apps like FaceTune are so prevalent, the perception of a 'real' or "naturally beautiful" can get heavily distorted. While Chandran stunned in glam at Wimbledon, many celebrities are already pushing back against beauty norms in favor of embracing a natural look. Pamela Anderson has made headlines over the past few years for steering away from wearing makeup. "I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room," she said in an October 2023 interview with Vogue France. "I feel like it's just freedom. It's a relief." When criticism goes too far When misogynists or the internet tear apart a woman's appearance, it not only leaves an emotional impact, but also opens the door for more serious consequences. Some people who take part in the dogpiling are just bullies. But even among those who don't mean further harm, it create social acceptability around maligning women for their appearances. "It's a short step away from discrediting them when they speak up in the face of victimization because many people ignorantly believe that no one would want to assault a woman judged to be unattractive, and therefore she must be lying," Tanenbaum says.
