2019 NFL Playoff teams as Game of Thrones Characters

Indianapolis Colts - Theon Greyjoy (at the end of season 7). They started 1-5, there were question marks if they’d ever get back their pride (deflate gate, Andrew Luck injuries, Owner having public substance abuse issues, Josh McDaniel big timing them at the alter). this is all like Theon’s run of bad decisions, spineless decisions and dishonorable decisions, but on Dragonstone, theon Head butted his way back to the respect of his men, and is now on the hunt for his sister Yara. IN essence he’s got his mojo back and the Colts do to. I don’t think they’ll have any shot at the throne, but they’re once again an interesting component of this narrative 

Houston Texans - Berric Dondarrion - they were 0-3 and seemed dead. Deshaun Watson had a catastrophic leg/knee injury - but he regained his form and the Texans regained their’s. I’m not sure that Bill O’Brien is Thoros of Myr - but either way, as reincarnations in GOT go, i’m not sure the Texans are ready to be Jon Snow or even the mountain in terms of rising up… but at the very least — they’ve got a new lease on life for sure. 

Seattle Seahawks - The Seahawks are Jorah Mormot. They rose up from disgrace back in the day to become major players under Pete Carroll. Then they were cast aside, and left for dead (gray scale), but somehow found a way to get cured, cleanse themselves and get back onto the right side of the narrative. I’m not sure that they’re road this year leads them all the way to glory, but they’ve got  mix of luck, skill and knowledge that could keep them alive. 

Dallas Cowboys - I’m going with Tywin Lannister (father to Jamie & Cersei and allegedly Tyrion) because I think Jerry Jones is more like Tywin Lannister than another NFL owner. Overbearing, always asserting himself into the narrative, seems to have the deepest pockets and eventually get his way. Some love him, more fear him, but most just can’t stand him.  

Game of Thrones Podcast - Season 7 - Episode 1

Wine Wall & Dragons  Game of Thrones Season 7 - Episode 1

First off - rewatched pretty much all of season 6 today — they could not have set the stage better for season 7

Second - there are about 14 episodes left — 7 this year — the sixth book (unfinished) is called “The Winds of Winter” and the 7th book is supposed to be called “A Hope for Spring” - this leads me to believe that this season is going to be DARK AS EFF

Places Listening - Seoul South Korea #2 and Philadelphia #1

DOB are you in or out on Danny McBride’s "Vice Principals” - What about Dwayne the Rock Johnson’s “Ballers”?

Also "Curb your enthusiasm" is coming back in October, hot DANG! 

Which Character will surprise us the most? Little Finger is likely to make a major play and be a major fly in the ointment?

DOB Hot take — we’re kind of out of gas with Jamie and Cersei — but, Dorne Sandsnakes, Lady Olyanna and Varys have something up their sleeves at end of season 6.

Opening Scene - Walder Frey is “Alive” - which means that Arya is wearing his face — this is badass already 

Bel Big DeVoe’s “poison” is Arya’s new theme song - cuz she just poisoned all of the Frey’s to death

Next scene - a winter storm - it’s likely the night’s king — ahhhh yup and his whole crew of icy banditos - guessing they’re marching south and WON WOON is now one of them - EEEEK - well one of wun wun’s family members more accurately

Bran Stark is at the Wall with Meera - good to have him on the south of the border. 

Jon Snow and Sansa are having their first public spat - little finger loves it. Of course he does - they are really “telegraphing this breach" between them. 

Cersei and Jamie - talking war strategy - we need allies, stronger bigger allies — Euron Greyjoy ? Since they “cut to him and his crew” - and I’m right. Damn this is so black and white

ohhhhh cersei might marry the crow’s eye. And he’s dressed like Mick Jaggar

greatest captain of the 14 seas - there are 14 seas ???? 

The Citadel and master training with sam early. bed pan duty - funny little montage - reminded me of pink floyd’s money intro - but sam gets interested in  the restricted section on the library

maester cadaver is hanging dong on coroners table.

The arch master is way too confident in the wall working

The courtship of Brienne by the willing with the beard — Little Finger is gonna have an interesting season.

Arya on horse back - listening to a real crooner (ED SHEERAN?)

Thoros of Myr and Berrik Dondarrion back with the Hound - what was the significance of that dead father and girl? was that from like season 2?

Thoros of Myr shows the hound the flames - he sees east watch by the sea and the army of the dead — the hound is a changed man

dragon stone has a bevy of dragon glass — course it does — also Jorah Mormot is at citadel - for  big realm, everyone seems to meet up

Cue the Puff Daddy - Dany is coming home

Varys seems to have lost a few pounds on the overseas vouyage - looking smooth Varys

DragonStone and a SWEET ASSS THRONE - And Stannis’ old wooden table
