FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New Jersey native George R.R. Martin, author of the series of novels that inspired "Game of Thrones," feels your pain, Jets fans.

Martin, disgusted by the Monday night debacle, took to his online journalto vent his frustration in the aftermath of the New York Jets' 41-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He considers himself a Jets fan; he has made one-day visits to training camp the last two summers, receiving the VIP treatment from the team.

This is what he wrote:

"Jets Game? What Jets game?

Did the Jets play a game? On Monday Night Football, you say?

Surely not.

Those were not the Jets. That was the Weehawken High School Junior Varsity dressed up in Jets uniforms, surely.

The hardest hit of the night was the one the security guys put on the streaker.

Oh, well. Bryce Petty came in and showed flashes. That was something. One nice long TD pass... and a lot of misses. We'll see him the rest of the way, I am told. Good. Maybe with some reps in practice, he can improve.

An APB has been put out for Gang Green's once heralded D.

(The Jets being the Jets, now that they have been officially eliminated from the playoffs, they will probably win a few meaningless end-of-season games, just to mess up their draft position).

Life is meaningless and full of pain."

Ouch. Does this mean the Jets will treat him like Eric Dickerson and revoke his VIP credentials?
