Judge Judy joins superfan Jim Harbaugh as Chargers honorary captain vs. Buccaneers

But her appearance shouldn't come as a surprise to those that know head coach Jim Harbaugh. 

Harbaugh has openly discussed his admiration for Sheindlin in press conferences over the years, and has repeatedly called himself a fan of her legendary TV courtroom drama series.

"Jim Harbaugh is a force of nature. His enthusiasm for the game and for life in general is infectious," Sheindlin told Fox News Digital ahead of Sunday's game. "I had the great pleasure of spending a day with Jim and his dad, a pretty cute guy himself. I am definitely a fan of the Harbaughs. They are a one-of-a-kind family."

For Harbaugh, the feelings are mutual. 

"It will be an incredible honor to share our sideline with Judge Judy. She's been appointment television viewing for my family for years," he told Fox News Digital. "If we could just get Judge Judy on The Supreme Court, the world would be a better place. Suffice to say, I'm a huge fan."

This is not the first time the legendary coach has made a push for Sheindlin to join the Supreme Court. In 2016, Harabaugh posted a message on social media encouraging former President Barack Obama to nominate Sheindlin. 

Sheindlin starred on "Judge Judy" for 25 years, before moving to "Judy Justice," which streams weekdays on Prime Video and is a winner of two Daytime Emmys.
