[BOOKS] TIL that GRRM considers the New England Patriots as the Lannisters of the NFL and even paid homage to head coach Bill Belichick in ADWD

Taken from Wikipedia:

The A Song of Ice and Fire novel A Dance with Dragons contains a passage referencing Belichick: "The galley was also where the ship's books were kept... the fourth and final volume of The Life of the Triarch Belicho, a famous Volantene patriot whose unbroken succession of conquests and triumphs ended rather abruptly when he was eaten by giants", referring to the New England Patriots' 2007 season, in which the Patriots went undefeated until losing in the Super Bowl to the New York Giants.

Just found this rather funny and I hope it made you all laugh a bit.
