The video is for Ron Artest's new song, "Blind." The audio makes me wish I was deaf.

All (easy) jokes aside, this is not terrible, Ron. But I prefer your earlier work. Things get old school after the jump.

The NFL FanHouse team is putting its prediction skills to the test with a little friendly survivor pick 'em league. Each week, every competitor will choose one NFL winner, keeping in mind that you can't pick the same team more than once during the year. But it's a dangerous game: Get one wrong, and you're out.

Sweet lord. All three of our remaining experts have hitched their wagon to a different horse this week. Follow me, people. We could... have... a winner.

This is more exciting than Christmas morning. Less exciting than Pats-Colts, however. Have you heard those two were playing this weekend?

The colloquium was titled "Intercollegiate Athletics: Pro/Con: the Joys and Challenges of College Sports." The subject, as stated by moderator Maury Povich, was academics, athletics, and money.

Povich directed his first question at Redskins offensive tackle Stephon Heyer. While at Maryland, did Heyer consider himself more student or athlete.

The Redskins offensive lineman chuckled.

The NFL season is half over and every team is, at the very least, still in existence. The Survivor Pick 'Em season is also half over, but only three writers remain.

You tell me which is the more dangerous game, Malcolm Gladwell.

In a metaphorical sense, the Florida Gators abused Georgia in a 41-17 beat down on Saturday. But also, in a quite literal sense, linebacker Brandon Spikes attempted to gouge the eyes of Bulldog running back Washuan Ealey.

Florida has suspended Spikes for the first half of Saturday's game against Vanderbilt.

Reached for comment, Brandon Spikes did not say, "Captain Insano shows no mercy." But I wish he had.

All four remaining writers made it through last week. But let's see if their post-Halloween candy hangover affected their picking this morning.

I wonder if anyone dressed up as a Browns fan? Paper bag over the head. Blood gushing from eyes and ears. That's the one.

Hasheem Thabeet's NBA career is off to an uninspiring start. In his Grizzlies debut, he managed zero points and only two rebounds in 12 minutes of action. Bleh.

But the UConn product is already bringing plenty to the Memphis community. Recently, Thabeet appeared on Fox 13 to lend a hand forecasting the weather. And if he could pick up the intricacies of the NBA the way took to the newsroom, Thabeet will be holding down the paint sooner than expected.

WASHINGTON -- No one covers book signings. There is probably a reason for this. But with the second Bill Simmons book tour commencing in Washington on Monday, it seemed like a good enough idea. At the least, 15-year-old, Page 2-gobbling me would be quite delighted.

I called a friend of mine to inform him of my ever-bloggable plan. "You mean like Deadspin did for his first tour?" came the reply. Pause. Google search. Well, then.

Despite this inauspicious start, I buckled up and headed out with another buddy. The Sports Guy was waiting.

Last week, the Eagles lost to the Raiders. Even Santa Clause would have booed that stinker. Couple that with an overtime loss by the inept Jets, and we kissed good bye to half our remaining contenders.

So here we are, folks. Week 7, and it's final four time. Will this be the week we witness someone's one shining moment? I hope not, because then I will have to abandon this feature.

Last week, Tom Mantzouranis picked the Browns to beat the Bills. Derek Anderson only completed two passes and Cleveland still won.

Here's the point: Maybe we should all give up now. This is a man of destiny.
