Jordan Spieth, Tony Romo, Dirk Nowitzki, Jamie Benn -- they're all D-FW sports icons. But what if they were all in Westeros?
With Game of Thrones airing its season finale tonight, we decided to find D-FW's most iconic sports figures' matches with characters from George R.R. Martin's series.
Since there are so many characters in Game of Thrones (face it, it's hard to keep track of who's who sometimes), we've done side-by-side photos in a slideshow format above. We've also linked to each Thrones character's page if you'd like more information on them.
With that being said, here's what we came up with.
Living characters (For the most part)
These are D-FW sports figures who are still on area teams.
Jon Snow -- Tony Romo: Both are on the comeback trail. Can they regain what was lost?
Daenerys Targaryen -- Charlotte Jones Anderson: Both have to try to tame extremely wild creatures. Khaleesi has her dragons (Rhaegal and Viserion). Charlotte has, well, Stephen and Jerry.
Tyrion Lannister -- Mark Cuban: Both can talk their way in or out of anything.
Pycelle -- Jerry Jones: Both are part of a small council. They don't make many of the big decisions on their own anymore.
Jaqen H'ghar -- Nomar Mazara: Not much is known about them, but they seem to wield a lot of power.
Jorah Mormont -- Tyler Seguin: Started with a different team but like where they are now. (Jorah was supposed to be a spy but became attached to his target, Daenerys. Seguin started in Boston and likes Dallas now).
Tommen Baratheon -- Jamie Benn: Both are young rulers. Captains, if you will.
Davos Seaworth -- Dirk Nowitzki: Old dudes who are still getting stuff done. They're are also fiercely loyal.
Brienne of Tarth -- Skylar Diggins: Both are badass.
Bran Stark -- Josh Hamilton: Disappeared for a bit. Who knows how important their roles will be in the future.
Daario Naharis -- Chandler Parsons: Smooth with the ladies.
Jaime Lannister -- Adrian Beltre: They've had their injuries (Jaime's hand, Beltre's back in the playoffs), but they still fight at a high level. No sister stuff with Beltre, though. That's gross.
Bronn -- Dez Bryant: Can get a little loud at times but will always fight by your side.
Tormund -- Jordie Benn: Huge. Red. Beards.
Ghost -- John Klingberg: Both could use a little sun since they're extremely pale.
Gregor Clegane (The Mountain) -- Doug Free: The Mountain is 6-9, 395 pounds. Free is an inch shorter and 70 pounds lighter (!!), but he's the biggest D-FW dude we've got.
Night's King -- Jordan Spieth: Leader of an unstoppable new generation that is sure to take over.
Samwell Tarly -- Derek Holland: Goofy characters who try their darndest.
Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) -- DeAndre Jordan: Can't trust 'em.
Shame Bell Ringer -- Jason Garrett: She said the same thing over and over and over. Shame. Jason Garrett is the same way with his "process."
Deceased characters
These are sports figures who used to be involved with D-FW teams.
Joffrey Baratheon -- Sean Avery: Putting it nicely, both were little punks.
Robb Stark -- Steve Nash: Both left just when things started getting good.
Tywin Lannister -- Nolan Ryan: Both did great things but were kicked out by their own people.
Eddard (Ned) Stark -- Jimmy Johnson: Everyone was rooting for them except for the one person that mattered most (For Ned, it was Joffrey. For Jimmy, it was Jerry Jones).
Robert Baratheon -- Tom Hicks: Stubborn leaders who couldn't get out of their own way.
Oberyn Martell -- Alex Rodriguez: Way too cocky for their own good.
