Judge Judy chimes in on Jim Harbaugh ahead of Week 12 hearing
Judge Judy chimed in with her opinion of Jim Harbaugh after the head coach referenced her at his weekly press conference earlier in the week. It all started when Harbaugh was asked about potentially testifying at the Friday hearing regarding his recent suspension.
On Monday, Harbaugh said he was unsure if he would testify at the hearing but noted he did want to be an attorney at times. He said he loved watching Judge Judy and even offered up a reference to Tom Cruise and “A Few Good Men.”
Following his press conference, footage of Harbaugh in attendance at a taping of Judge Judy popped up on social media:
Jim Harbaugh is not just a fan of Judge Judy.
Back in 2013, Harbaugh sat in the audience for a Judge Judy episode.

According to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg, Judge Judy (whose given name is Judith Sheindlin) declined to comment on Harbaugh’s pending hearing. However, she said through her representative that Harbaugh “played a stellar gin game” and referenced the head coach and his father as “fun and interesting.”
