References To The New York Giants In A Dance With Dragons
George R. R. Martin is a huge football fan, and he couldn’t resist slipping some references to the New York Giants into
A Dance With Dragons. Martin wrote, “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.” If you’re familiar with the New York Giants at all, then you’re likely aware that this is a clear reference to their Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots, who were previously undefeated.
