Art Stapleton NFL writer Published 12:37 PM EDT Mar 14, 2019 Winter is apparently coming for the New York Giants. Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin is not pleased with Big Blue's decision to trade Odell Beckham Jr., and he expressed his frustration over the transaction on his blog in the aftermath of the stunning deal. His prediction: a Big Blue Wedding. “I thought the last two seasons were rough for Giants fans. Next year is going to make them look like the good old days,” Martin wrote. “Someone pinch me. I am having a Big Blue nightmare.” A native of Bayonne, Martin has been rooting for the Giants since 1958, and he even mentioned the NFL Championship Game from that season — widely recognized as “The Greatest Game Ever Played” — in which the Colts beat the Giants, 23-17, at the old Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.

The 48-year-old actor has backed the brother-sister relationship, branding it one of the “few true love stories” on the show.

Like your best friend’s girlfriend. It’s one of the few true love stories in Game Of Thrones – Jaime is dedicated to this woman.” The show is set to come to an end next month, with six final episodes concluding the eight-season drama. The show's star have teased the epic ending, describing the finale as “numbing”. Conleth Hill, who plays Lord Varys, said … [Read more...] about Game of Thrones star defends Jaime and Cersei Lannister incest
Game of Thrones: Who is Melisandre’s Lord of Light, and could he be revealed in season 8?
Between the nudity and the dragons, it can be easy to forget that the propulsions underlying Game of Thrones are altogether more, well, theological. Season-spanning plotlines have been defined by the rulings and followers of religions such as The Faith of the Seven (such violent sparrows!) and The Many-Faced God (such brutal training!). None, though, have been responsible for such shocking scenes as the Lord of Light. Murderous ghost babies, hero-resurrection and, still unforgivably, the burning of children – these have all been inspired by R’hllor, the god who sparks fanaticism in Red Priestesses such as Kinvara and Melisandre. What’s more, of all of Game of Thrones’ creeds, the Lord of Light’s...
