Patriots Fan Finds Date To Playoff Game On Craigslist
BOSTON (CBS) – As the Patriots get ready to take the field against the Chiefs, one woman was getting ready to play the field of love. She had an extra ticket to Saturday's game and she now has someone to go with thanks to an online posting.
Francesca loves her job. She also loves the Patriots. And until very recently, she loved her boyfriend, too.
"I didn't post the ad myself, my friends did," she said.
Her friends, who were too shy to talk on camera, were plenty brave enough to post an ad on Craigslist announcing the newly single Francesca had a very real extra ticket to the Patriots-Chiefs game.
They posted her cell phone number and well, you don't need to be told what happened next.
"After I deleted the 300 I had, I have 124 now," Francesca said.
The texts, pictures and videos flooded her phone all day.
It was a lot to weed through.
"One of them said I'll pick you up in my BMW with chocolate."
"I'm in for the game, they call me Mario the Italian stallion," read another text.
But in the end, she picked her man: John Feitelberg of Barstool Sports.
So this weekend's set, but she now has to change her phone number.
