But a whole lot of us Super Bowl watchers also will have our eyes trained on the sidelines watching for a glimpse of Fox Sports' Pam Oliver.
She's easily the baddest female sports reporter on TV. But last month, during the NFC Championship Game between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers, armchair refs called a technical foul on her.
No, it wasn't because Oliver, an industry veteran, got her facts wrong. Oliver's too up on the game for that. As a female reporter, she did something far more egregious. Oliver had a bad hair day. Gulp!

Honey, stop the presses.
Even casual viewers could see that her hair needed refreshing and that her auburn highlights were on overdrive. It wasn't her best look. But who hasn't had a bad hair day? I've had bad-hair weeks, not just a day.
Fans were merciless. They went in hard on Oliver, turning to social media to poke fun at her. Her locks soon started trending on Twitter. People were mean, comparing her to Chewbacca from "Star Wars" or worse. From all the ruckus, you'd think Oliver had run onto the football field naked during halftime.
