Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms is excited about the NFL playoffs.
The wildlings and the men of the Night's Watch and even some northmen are all pulling for the Giants, of course. But in the Vale of Arryn and the Mountains of the Moon, they're Falcons fans.
The Lannisters are cheering on Detroit, even if the lion is the wrong color, but some of the smallfolk of Lannisport on its western bay are fond of those 49ers. The High Septon and all the septa and septons and devout of the realm are for the Saints.
The butchers and tanners of King's Landing and Oldtown are behind the Packers, the smiths and armorers are with the Steelers. At the Citadel of Oldtown, the archmaesters and the Conclave are all about the Ravens, but across the narrow sea the khals and Dothraki horselords are screaming and whistling for the Broncos. In Volantis, the tigers are Bengals backers; the elephants are rooting for whoever plays the Bengals.
Nobody anywhere knows what a 'Texan' is, but a few Dornishmen might support them anyway, just to be perverse.
One commonality unites all the Seven Kingdoms, and the lands beyond. Everyone everywhere hates the Patriots, and Evil Little Bill.

- 5 Mar 2018, 19:17Still working on that. When we have a final, I will share it.
- 5 Mar 2018, 05:32All the Wild Cards books under Tor have had absolutely stellar covers. I'd frame them and hang them on my wall if I could.
- 4 Mar 2018, 03:28Are all these examples digital artwork? It doesn't look like traditional oil on canvas. I miss the fantasy/sci-fi covers of the '70s and '80s. Even the paperbacks had amazing covers.
- 3 Mar 2018, 17:49Whatever anyone can get their hands on is, I suspect, the right answer.
At the last party, it was an open bar with pretty much everything you can imagine on offer. There were some special drinks as… - 3 Mar 2018, 00:07Any chance you could tell us who’s doing the cover art for Fire and Blood? And maybe when we can expect a glimpse of it. Thank you!

The New England Others
I always knew there was a reason King's Landing was my favorite place to read about. :'D
I showed my mother this and she said "I don't read those book, but if they support the Cowboys, they're all right in my book", so there you go.
What happens if the Bengals top the Texans? Will the elephants of Volantis hold their noses (trunks?) and have to cheer on the Patriots, or will their aversion to
Triarch BelichoEvil Little Bill make them grudgingly support the Bengals?I'm thinking this is Green Bay's year, though I sure would like to see the 49ers in the Superbowl. Been a good while since they had their last shot at winning the championship (1994, I think, was their last appearance), and a perfect capper to the the turn around Harbaugh's overseen.
We live in hope in Seattle and Westeros!
Anyway, no doubt the Iron Men are rooting for the Seahawks. . . .
Pluck your magic twanger, Froggy!
