Football: Some Adverb

A stranger offers a spirited fan and football cyber-gamer a chance for Xmas-thought of trade of treasure (an NFL-jacket) for thought-of-knucklebones.

A football-gamer culture portrait/fiction injected in-between my Gremlins movie-fanfare Xmas-season trilogy for your Xmas-'25 week. Thanks so much for reading!

"Well, I found a great Orange-State NFL-fanfare spirits jacket to complement my video-game gameplay of my fave-pirates icon team for American football superstition when a stranger knocked on my door in the American Homeland."

STRANGER: I know you've become a great cyber-football player/contender, pal.

ME: What can I help you with today, sir?
STRANGER: I noted your cyber-post about your Tampa Bay NFL jacket for art!

ME: What can I help you with today, sir?

STRANGER: You mentioned your home-address in your post, and it's why I'm here.

ME: What can I help you with today, sir?

STRANGER: I'd like you to participate in a football cyber-tourney for your jacket!
ME: What's it?
STRANGER: Defeat my special supported cyber-gamer, and I give you $1K.

ME: If I lose, to your special gamer endorsed, sir?

STRANGER: I get your jacket (for memento)...that's a deal of super-weight, pal.

ME: That's a super-deal (Facebook-like).

"Would you believe I won my cyber-game challenge with the designated diplomat-gamer the stranger had endorsed to compete with me for my Orange-State NFL-spirits jacket? Yes, I used the Florida-state Bucs to down the stranger's endorsed gamer and his Philly-Eagles team, recounting how the actual (real-world) Bucs downed the mighty Eagles of the City of Brotherly Love in '25 with the magic-touch of their new-gen touted cool-QB (Baker). However, the stranger wasn't satisfied."

ME: Why'd you mail me this football-cheerleader card, sir?
STRANGER: Precedes my email-exchange with you here (today), pal.

ME: What can I help you with now, sir?

STRANGER: You need not know my name but my serious interest is of interest.

ME: What can I help you with now, sir?

STRANGER: Well...congrats on your cyber-win against my diplomat/gamer, pal.

ME: What can I help you with now, sir?

STRANGER: You must've noted the Bucs win over Eagles in '25; you paralleled.

ME: Yes, I recount some Baker's-dozen magic for my gameplay (sure).

STRANGER: Tell you what...as part of a gift-note, I'll mail you $2K, pal.

ME: For my NFL-jacket, sir?

STRANGER: What do you think?
ME: You must really need/want that jacket, sir (wow).

STRANGER: It's sure brought you fortune-magic, pal.

ME: You think it'll do the same for ya, eh?

STRANGER: It's the magic-silk for my new Wall-St. venture in the Orange-St.

ME: Damn...$2,000 just for my ('lucky') jacket, sir?

STRANGER: I'll give you until Xmas to decide, pal...don't be late.

ME: I'll email you with my choice, sir...Selfie-like.

STRANGER: Remember, pal...Xmas-wage makes for ambition's cage (good-luck).
