Our field studies portion, as you know, is one of the hardest credits to finish. I see that Jeremy hasn’t arrived.. well, let’s wish him luck in finding real data for his Psychology of Habitual Degeneration thesis. Susan? There you are. Go ahead and give us an update on why we are here.“Certainly, Dr. Howard. So we are here at Springfield Hospital to inspect the patient known as #32-D, an example of extreme gambling addiction. He’s been in here since being released in early February. Just last month we positively identified him as THE Degenerate Gambl—”Susan, it is important to keep our biases in check. 32D might ha—QUIET IN THE BACK!If I hear another Victoria’s Secret quip, I’ll fail the lot of you! Now, 32-DEE might have a reputation that you are familiar with, but we must approach this patient as we might any other. Go ahead, Susan.“Patient 32D showed outward signs of extreme habitual degeneration, persistent failure to learn from even the most obvious of patterns, self-destructive tendencies, and an obsessive focus on sporting information.”And not just any information Joey Bosa Color Rush Jersey , class. The NFL, a famous target for degener..—similar patients—is not a surprise fixation. What IS noteworthy is that this example only seemed to focus on one entity. The San Die-”“LA, sir.”The Los Angeles Chargers. Thank you, Susan. While that in and of itself is a bit of a surprise, what is even more astounding is that we tracked this patient all around the country—Pittsburgh, Denver.“And London, sir.”Yes, even outside of the United States. While it is possible that outside elements were financing his degenerative habits, he seemed to have a driving impulse to be close to the action whenever possible. What separates this example from so many others, though, was this patient’s obsessive focus on the Chargers in particular.“We originally tried a simple experiment—feeding the patient information on another entity, the AAF. No obsessive fixation, no degerative actions taken.”We theorized that perhaps setting was a variable, so we fed information about the San Diego Fleet. No change.“Baseball season did not bring any change in behavior at all. Even the Super Bo—”I’m afraid that we can’t use any anecdotal information about the Super Bowl, Susan. We were not able to chart the patient at that time. Yes, it’s possible that even an LA-based team wasn’t enough to coax degenerative habits from the patient, but we must focus on what we’ve been able to chart directly. It appears that, after the Chargers finished their season Forrest Lamp Color Rush Jersey , this patient simply.. entered a sort of torpid state.“We found 32-D here in early February, but the patient has hardly moved during that time. He faces south-west and sighs periodically. Vital functions appear to indicate a sort of dormant state. It is as if he somehow bases his physical needs around the dopamine rush associated only with gambling related with one specific entity.”You are well aware of my work showing that Mesolimbic dopamine, the chief neuromediator of incentive motivation, is indeed released to a larger extent in pathological gamblers than in healthy controls. I have also demonstrated that the resulting “rush” is not based necessarily on the anticipation of winning, but rather on the uncertainty of any reward at all. What is remarkable here is that, for the first time, we appear to have a physical correlation between body system activity and the expectation of Mesolimbic dopamine.“He goes cold when it’s not Chargers season. Literally, his temperature is 69 degrees.”I HEARD THAT, Mr. Fine! That’s it! This session is OVER! Go collect your own data without a primary source. Your work is due Monday regardless!HOURS LATERBeneath the door, a slip of paper is pushed into the Degenerate Gambler’s room.......-Jason “To be Continued” Michaels For the second game in a row, Chargers fans had to sit and peak through their fingers as they watched their team gut-out a last second stand on defense inside CenturyLink Field.QB Philip Rivers must’ve beem feeling awfully generous as he chose to spread the wealth with RB Melvin Gordon and the wideout trio of Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Tyrell Williams all getting in on the action.Thanks to a physical defense and defense that found it’s groove fairly early, the Chargers were able amass a lead they would never relinquish, no matter how hard Caleb Sturgis tried.Personally, this game felt just like the Titans game in that, although the team won, I did not feel as jolly as one would expect following a victory. The final score made it seem closer than it really was Mike Williams Color Rush Jersey , while the kicking woes made it feel WAY closer than it was. Honestly, I’m just glad it’s over with so the team can focus on the on-fire garbage can that is the Oakland Raiders organization.I, for one, cannot wait.So let’s get to it. Here are this week’s players that SURGED forward with their play and those who found themselves staying STATIC following the week 9 victory.SurgeCB Desmond King IIJust like a caped-crusader, like the ones you only read about in the comics or see in the movies, Desmond King swooped in at just the right time to effectively save the day for the Chargers against the Seattle Seahawks.On a 1st-and-10 with just under seven minutes left in the game, QB Russell Wilson attempted an ill-advised pass to WR David Moore on the far sideline. Although King was tasked with covering the slot receiver to that side, he showed no hesitation as he read the quarterback’s eyes all the way. Just as Wilson cocked-back to throw, the former Jim Thorpe Award winner stuck his foot in the ground and pounced on the pass, securing it en route to a 42-yard interception return for a touchdown.It was King’s third interception on the year and arguably the biggest of his young career. n fact, by the end of the game, the turnover wound up being the difference in this one.Following the absolute tear that King has been on during these last three games, Pro Football Focus now has him as their highest-graded cornerback in the entire NFL with an “elite” mark of 90.4.WR Keenan AllenAt the half-way point of the season, many Chargers fans might think that Allen has found himself in the middle of some negative regression. While he may be on pace for less receiving yards and touchdowns, Allen is still right on track to cross that 1,000-yard threshold while also padding his stats with some rushing yards, for good measure.Against the Seahawks, Allen hauled in six of his team-high 10 targets for 124 yards Darius Philon Color Rush Jersey , his first 100-yard game since week 1. He also added 28 yards on a pair of carries. In all, the receiver has averaged over 10 yards per carry with 74 yards on seven totes.For the year, Allen’s 630 receiving yards are good for 17th in the NFL. His 47 catches are tied with Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans for 21st in the league.StaticK Caleb SturgisFor almost 24 hours, Chargers fans waited in fuming anticipation for the team to make any sort of announcement regarding the status of Sturgis and whether or not he would somehow get one more chance to prove his worth in the NFL.Luckily, oh so luckily, GM Tom Telesco and his staff finally made the right move as they gave Sturgis the boot, albeit a tad late if you were to ask anyone else.In a game that came down to the final play once again, the Chargers narrowly escaped following another gritty finish by the Bolts’ defense. However, if Sturgis would have made any ONE of his THREE missed kicks on Sunday, he could have save LA fans years on their lives.A big thank-you to Coach Lynn and staff for finally (?) making the right choice with this one.CB Trevor WilliamsBesides the kicker, Williams found himself as the only player to find themselves in Coach Lynn’s doghouse. The former UDFA, just a year removed from having a spectacular season, did not record a single defensive snap against the Seahawks. He did, however, see 21 snaps on special teams.In his place, Michael Davis got the start opposite Casey Hayward, showing that Williams’ lackluster play is finally acknowledged by the staff.
