PITTSBURGH -- Claudia Ignowski, 43, spent years crying over having to sit home alone every weekend afternoon while her husband Bob, 48, watched football at the bar with his buddies. She was the quintessential "football widow." But now she says Bob can watch all the sports he wants. From now on, she says, while Bob is with his buddies, she'll be with Ricardo.
"It didn't matter what kind of football it was -- college, pro, youth league -- you name it, he'd rather watch it than spend time with me," she said. "I could have covered myself in cheese dip and lied waiting in a tub of ice-cold beer and he'd have just slid a nacho along me on his way out the door. So, I did what any self-respecting woman would do. I hired a male escort and made that bastard pay for it."
Now Claudia calls up Ricardo, a six-foot-four Latino escort, every time Bob leaves to watch the games.
"Honey, I used to hate football season. I'd spend September through February crying of sheer loneliness. Now I wish they played every day, all year 'round. You know what I got Bob for his birthday this year? Steelers season tickets!"
Caught for a brief interview yesterday, Ricardo said that while he was happy to have the work, he was a little disappointed in the hours, especially the need to work every Sunday afternoon. In broken English he said he needed the money, but what he really wanted was to know whether anybody could tell him the score of the Raiders/Dolphins game.
