Here's a little something I just put out comparing the houses from Game of Thrones to various NFL teams (as well as some character comparisons).
Unfortunately, I couldn't really find a good fit for the Rams. The team is in transition every few years and doesn't have a long history/tradition with St. Louis, so there's not much personality there to work with.
It's ridiculous... I know. But hopefully a few GOT fans on here can appreciate the comparisons.
Enjoy....
Which Game of Thrones House Best Represents These NFL Teams?
By: Steven Gerwel
It's hard to ignore the popularity of HBO's smash-hit television series Game of Thrones, based on the novels by George R. R. Martin, but have you imagined what the NFLwould be like if it were more like the magical medieval world of Game of Thrones?
There are certainly similarities—loyalty to banners and sigils, epic battles, savage brutality—so it's not too far-fetched to compare the two.
If you follow both the NFL and Game of Thrones, this article will address the question that's surely been eating away at your mind: If NFL teams were houses from Game of Thrones, who would be whom?
Unfortunately, finding a house to fit each NFL team is unrealistic, as there aren't enough similarities, so this article will instead take the well-known houses and find a perfect match for each one.
The Patriots: House Lannister
This is one of the more obvious choices. The Patriots so closely resemble House Lannister that it's surprising they're not the inspiration for the universally hated house.
Bill Belichick is a spot-on Tywin Lannister—the power-hungry head of the house who rarely cracks a smile, obsesses over his legacy and gets what he wants at all costs.
As for Tom Brady? Tell me he's not perfect for Jamie Lannister. He's a charming lady's man, a skilled warrior on the field and despised by all outside of New England. And that, of course, would make Gisele the real-life Queen Cersei (minus the incestuous aspect of the relationship).
Unfortunately, there's no member of the Patriots organization who's a clear match for the imp, Tyrion Lannister. We'll go with Shane Vereen, as he's the shortest player on the roster.
The rest of them...
