QUOTE OF THE DAY
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"Like walking on asphalt, Harder than Chinese arithmetic."
Cowboys fallback Walt Garrison describing the texture of the playing surface
ACT OF THE DAY
When an offensive player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his arm starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body. Also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble.

THE MORNING BREW Finest snow games in sports history
Whether you were burdened or blessed by winter storms "Q" and "Rocky," the elements reminded us of just how Mother Nature can control our lives. Even in sports, there's snow doubt climate has laid claim to some significant moments. No more awful puns—here are some of the biggest snow games in sports history.
THE ICE BOWL
The 1967 NFL Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys has gone down in legend as one of the most classic games in football history. The game was played at a bone-chilling minus-15 degrees with a wind chill of minus-48 degrees, a current NFL record. The elements were only magnetized by the rivalry between the teams and Hall of Fame coaches Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi.
After 55 minutes of play, the Packers trailed 14-17 and the wind chill had risen to a reported minus-70 degrees. Future Hall of Fame quarterback Bart
Starr drove the Packers down the field and scored the game-winning touchdown with just moments left to win the NFL Championship.
In a 2001 American Football Conference Divisional game, the matchup pitted the Oakland Raiders against the New England Patriots in a snowy mess. With the Patriots down 10-13 in the fourth quarter and less than two minutes to play, quarterback Tom Brady
THE TUCK RULE GAME
dropped back looking to push his team into field goal range.
An Oakland pass rusher hit Brady as he was "tucking the ball" and another Oakland player fell on the ball, resulting in a fumble recovery call on the field. However, under a rule implemented in 1999 – NFL Rule 3, Section 22, Article 2, Note 2 – the play was reversed and called an incomplete pass. With a new life, Brady and the Patriots advanced the ball into range for kicker Adam Vinatieri. Vinatieri drove the kick through in what some call the greatest goal field of all time and the Patriots forced overtime, where they would go on to win and eventually become Super Bowl Champions.
THE WINTER CLASSICS
It makes sense to play an outdoor sport inside, but taking an indoor sport to the outdoors is a whole different story. The Winter Classic is an annual National Hockey League game played in outdoor stadiums. The inaugural Winter Classic was played in Ralph Wilson Stadium (home of the Buffalo Bills) in front of a crowd of more than 71,000 people. Each year, the event is a huge ratings success and great publicity event for the NHL.
In both the 2008 and 2011 Winter Classics, gameplay had to be altered because of weather conditions. Teams were required to switch direction during the halfway points of the third period and overtime period. The change was made so each team would have equal time playing with weather conditions from each direction.

CRIME
Pistorius violates gun handling regulations
JOHANKSBURG — Even if Oscar Pistorius is acquitted of murder, firearms and legal experts in South Africa believe that, by his own account, the star athlete violated basic gun-handling regulations and exposed himself to a homicide charge by shooting into a
closed door without knowing who was behind it.
Particularly jarring for firearms instructors and legal experts is that Pistorius testified that he shot at a closed toilet door, fearing but not knowing for certain that a nighttime intruder was on the other side. Instead of an intruder, Pistorius' girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was in the toilet
cubicle. Struck by three of four shots that Pistorius fired from a 9 mm pistol, she died within minutes. Prosecutors charged Pistorius with premeditated murder, saying the shooting followed an argument between the two. Pistorius said it was an accident.
South Africa has stringent laws regulating the use of lethal force for self-protection. In order to get a permit
Pistorius took such a competency test for his 9 mm pistol and passed it,
to own a firearm, applicants must not only know those rules but must demonstrate proficiency with the weapon and knowledge of its safe handling, making it far tougher to legally own a gun in South Africa than any other countries where a mere background check suffices.
according to the South African Police Service's National Firearms Center. Pistorius' license for the 9 mm pistol was issued in September 2010. The Olympic athlete and Paralympic medalist should have known that firing blindly, instead of at a clearly identified target, violates basic gun-handling rules, firearms and legal experts said.
"You can't shoot through a closed
door," said Andre Pretorius, president of the Professional Firearm Trainers Council, a regulatory body for South African firearms instructors."People who own guns and have been through the training, they know that shooting through a door is not going to go through South African law as an accident."
