‘Game of Thrones’ author hates Geno Smith, too

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin is like any other red-blooded Jets fan. He understands death, torment, torture, pain and the frailty of the human condition. Sometimes he channels this into his novels, other times he hates Geno Smith on his blog.

For the moment, I will enjoy the win, and wonder what might have happened if Rex had only benched Geno Smith earlier. (I was distressed to see Geno back as second string, and Matt Simms inactive. Simms showed more in his brief appearance last week than Geno has all season). Some good play there by Percy Harvin, Erik Decker, and Chris Ivory. And the D line. Gang Green DOES have some good players, if only they could get a quarterback.

A young player everyone hates who needs to be deposed, but everyone is too afraid to do it. We’ve seen this before.
