Good morning, Washington. Did you have more fun than you expected watching the Super Bowl No One Cared That Much About? By all accounts, it ended up being a pretty great game, regardless of whether you felt strongly about one team or the other (or neither). WTOP's Rahul Bali dug in to the game-related issue that's nearest and dearest to my heart: how pizza places manage to get all those pies delivered on the big day. Bali says the Bethesda Domino's doubled the number of cooks and drivers it usually has on hand to handle the rush. Did you get your 'za without much difficulty yesterday, or did you become a victim of the Super Bowl Crush?

D.C. Could Require Drivers to Remove Ice From Cars: The Examiner reports on legislation from D.C. Council member Harry Thomas Jr. that would require drivers to clear their vehicles of snow and ice before driving. Anyone who's been in a crosswalk when a car with ice still on its roof comes to a sudden stop knows why it's important to clean a car thoroughly after a winter storm. Still, Thomas's bill, if passed, would make D.C. the only jurisdiction in the country to have such a law on the books. Are D.C. drivers really so inconsiderate and/or stupid that something like this needs to be legislated?

Escaped Suspect Still At Large: A 24-year-old man escaped from police custody over the weekend and is still at large,reports the Post. Corey Harrison escaped from United Medical Center at around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday wearing only a pair of boxer shorts, a T-shirt and a handcuff on one wrist. The Posties get some good yucks in by referring to Harrison as "scantily clad," though considering how chilly it was on Saturday evening, it was surely no joke to Harrison that he didn't have a coat when he escaped.

Briefly Noted: Ignored assault victim in Columbia Heights dies ... Two fatal shootings in Southeast on Sunday ... Metro clears 2008 with no worker deaths ... One student killed, one hurt in Montgomery County crash that halved car.
