Bill Belichick/NY Giants make cameo in Game of Thrones book

DjSkittle85 : 7/4/2012 4:34 pm

George RR Martin (a Jets fan/Patriots hater) recently told fans about a passage in A Dance with Dragons slyly referencing the Giants and Patriots.

"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. (pg. 439 of the US Hardcover)"
Some more details (very minor and vague spoilers) - ( New Window )

Is actually a huge GIANTS fan and one of those moderate supporters of the Jets. He probably blogs about the Giants more than any other subject.

Thinking of catching up with this show on Netflix.
