• Newest way to combat crime from our mayor: The rumor hotline! I don’t really know how this is going to work, but I’ve already called up and said I heard that Rick Mariano has been indicted. Oooh, that’s a juicy rumor! (The number’s 215-685-9521.) [KYW 3]

• Moody’s Investor Service is thinking of downgrading the Delaware River Port Authority. Moody’s opinion of me remains flat. [Inky]

• “Brandy is one of about 250 licensed, regulated professional escorts in this border town [Windsor, Ontario], which sits less than a mile from the hub of Super Bowl XL, Detroit’s GM Renaissance Center. She, like most of her competition, expects Super Bowl fans to cross the Detroit River in droves this weekend, looking for things they just can’t readily get on the American side of the Ambassador Bridge: Cuban cigars, all-nude strip clubs, a 19-year-old drinking age and legalized prostitution.” And, an escort service manager says: “In Windsor, you’re allowed to walk topless outside on the street if you want. I could whip out my double D’s and walk around topless if I wanted to.” Who said Detroit was a bad place for the Super Bowl? [ESPN.com]

• Despite clogging up the streets with equipment and vehicles, nobody can get enough of the Rocky Balboa crew. This movie is going to be awesome. [Inky]
