The Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, and if you’re anything like millions of people around the world then you’re probably wondering: when can I watch it, and how?
But is that all you really need to know? What about those absurd rightwing conspiracy theories going around social media, and will Taylor Swift be able to make it all the way from Tokyo? How much would it cost you to place a small ad during the game? Read on for all the answers …
