"  Did you know that Brooklyn Decker, the all-American beach beauty dressed always to the nines, is also a total tomboy? One who&amp;#039;s married to tennis pro Andy Roddick and has a serious soft spot for the NFL. The girl knows her stats, and whether on the sidelines at a game or talking shop on her old SI show &amp;quot;She Says, Z Says,&amp;quot; she always looks camera ready. Here at BAZAAR, football chatter is\u2014well, largely just isn&amp;#039;t. But we&amp;#039;re no spoilsports. So we asked Brooklyn to coach us on the ins and outs of Super Bowl Sunday: how to get through it, enjoy it, and look good doing it. 1. &amp;quot;Pick a team&amp;quot;\u2014even if at random. &amp;quot;If you&amp;#039;re a total novice, the first most important thing to do is PICK A TEAM! That way, you have someone to root for, you feel invested, and you have a few people to high five throughout the day. I was rooting for the Carolina Panthers but unfortunately they lost to San Francisco, so during the Super Bowl I&amp;#039;ll be showing my allegiance to the Broncos, for no other reason than I root for Peyton Manning to win a ring under a different franchise.&amp;quot; 2. But do spend a minute reading up on football buzz before game day, so you&amp;#039;re invested in the behind-the-scenes storylines. &amp;quot;The week leading up to the Super Bowl is pretty quiet media-wise, as the main focus is football, so read up a little bit. Know a few of the big stories going into the game so you can follow a little throughout the day.&amp;quot; 3. Comfortable-chic is the way to go. Jeans, a great sweater, and a pair of boots pretty much nails it! When picking an outfit for game day be comfortable. It&amp;#039;s going to be a long day, and you might be jumping out of your seat.  4. Just say no\u2026 \u2026To heels. &amp;quot;Ladies, stop wearing heels to sporting events. It&amp;#039;s a weird and a terrible idea. You will feel miserable walking around a stadium for hours. A comfy wedge is fine, but I think gals should stick with the jeans and T-shirts vibe. This is a sporting event, not New York Fashion Week\u2014that&amp;#039;s next week.&amp;quot; 5. Show your colors\u2026but not all over. &amp;quot;There are so many great ways to show team allegiance now. You can wear a team hoodie under a blazer with a pair of flats or boots. Those are easy ways to rock your team colors without going full on jersey! 6. When it comes to cheering, bring it on. &amp;quot;You should be as spirited or as quiet as you want. I&amp;#039;ve been known to wear a jersey to the opposing fan&amp;#039;s house, which is very obnoxious, come to think of it\u2026Maybe I&amp;#039;m not the best person to give advice about sportsmanship.&amp;quot; 7. Bring snacks\u2014and pick your beverage wisely. &amp;quot;You may want to bring a few options if you don&amp;#039;t feel like snacking on wings all day. And drink that booze\u2014it&amp;#039;s going to be a long, cold day\u2014but I&amp;#039;d advise against beer because you&amp;#039;ll feel terrible after five hours of drinking it.&amp;quot; 8. If you&amp;#039;re spending Sunday in MetLife Stadium, it&amp;#039;s not the day to debut your crop top. &amp;quot;If you&amp;#039;re heading to the actual game this year in New Jersey, good luck. Bring heating pads, and don&amp;#039;t show an inch of skin\u2014it&amp;#039;s going to get chilly out there.&amp;quot; 9. Don&amp;#039;t fake it. &amp;quot;When it comes to knowledge of rules, there&amp;#039;s nothing worse than that. If you don&amp;#039;t know anything about football, pick your team, and ask questions. But feel the vibe of the room; if people are hunched over silently biting their nails, it&amp;#039;s probably not the best time to ask what &amp;quot;going for the extra point&amp;quot; means. There&amp;#039;s nothing wrong with not knowing much about sports as long as you&amp;#039;re present and enjoying yourself and the people around you.&amp;quot; 10. In the end, it&amp;#039;s all about the tailgate.  &amp;quot;As long as you have great music, some good food, and, for this year, a heater, you&amp;#039;ll have a great tailgating time!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
