This is an open thread for all of your Super Bowl needs. For the record, I am not a Niners fan, though many members of the site and a few editors are. So, in Northern California spirit and solidarity, go Niners, I suppose, if I have to.

While you're waiting, here's …

* A preview of the game!

* A hilarious on-scene investigation of the deer antler place!

* Full coverage of everything from SB Nation!

* Matt Ufford's awesome, envy-inspiring food tour of New Orleans!

* Jon Bois' discomfiting Super Bowl Party breakdown!

* A drinking primer from Big Bois!

* Former Top Chef contestant Eli Kirshtein's perfect nachos!

* All of the commercials you'll see today!

* Our awesome Niners blog, Niners Nation!

* Our excellent Ravens blog, Baltimore Beatdown!

Since this is an open thread, please try to keep GIFs to a minimum. Like, related only to the proceedings at hand OR the punchline of a very, very, very, very good joke.

Have fun, and drink responsibly today and every day.
