4Rollga is a cross-directional foam roller designed to stabilize the hips, align the back, and increase range-of-motion. The Rollga foam roller is ideal for muscle recovery, fascial health, and functional restoration of movement. Ordinary foam rollers cause discomfort and pain due to the unfitting design. Rollga's contoured shape is designed to fit your body and reach trigger points that are difficult to reach with an ordinary roller.
Our entire body is consumed with connective tissue called Fascia. Just like anything in our body, connective tissue degenerates and breaks down over time. The degeneration of fascia can be accelerated with repetitive overuse, stress, or injury. Rollga is a high-quality foam roller that brings regeneration to damaged tissue by influencing the circulation of oxygen-rich blood flow. Rollga prevents fascia from becoming unhealthy, and by restoring your fascia, you restore your mobility.

New Heisman Odds

In the latest Heisman odds from SportsBetting.ag, Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral has moved in front of Alabama signal caller Bryce Young to take over the top spot.

Corral entered the season with 25-1 Heisman odds. Through three games, he's completed 68.8% of his passes for 997 yards with nine touchdowns and no interceptions.

Ole Miss is undefeated so Lane Kiffin's squad is still in the CFP National Championship picture, but the Rebels' current 50-1 odds suggest their chances are still very long. Ole Miss had 100-1 odds going in to Saturday.

Spencer Rattler, the preseason Heisman favorite, has seen his odds fall to 10-1.

The top 10 teams in the country prevailed over the weekend so there wasn't a ton of shakeup in terms of the national title odds.

Alabama and Georgia separated themselves from the pack a bit more after lackluster victories by Clemson and Oklahoma.

Penn State's odds moved from 40-1 to 25-1 following the Auburn game.

Kindle Pick of the Week: The Kaepernick Effect

Riveting and inspiring first-person stories of how “taking a knee” triggered an awakening in sports, from the celebrated sportswriter

“The Kaepernick Effect reveals that Colin Kaepernick’s story is bigger than one athlete. With profiles of courage that leap off the page, Zirin uncovers a whole national movement of citizen-athletes fighting for racial justice.” —Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award–winning author of Stamped from the Beginning and How to Be an Antiracist

In 2016, amid an epidemic of police shootings of African Americans, the celebrated NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick began a series of quiet protests on the field, refusing to stand during the U.S. national anthem. By “taking a knee,” Kaepernick bravely joined a long tradition of American athletes making powerful political statements. This time, however, Kaepernick’s simple act spread like wildfire throughout American society, becoming the preeminent symbol of resistance to America’s persistent racial inequality.


Critically acclaimed sports journalist and author of A People’s History of Sports in the United States, Dave Zirin chronicles “the Kaepernick effect” for the first time, through interviews with a broad cross-section of professional athletes across many different sports, college stars and high-powered athletic directors, and high school athletes and coaches. In each case, he uncovers the fascinating explanations and motivations behind a mass political movement in sports, through deeply personal and inspiring accounts of risk-taking, activism, and courage both on and off the field.

2021 College Football Rule Changes

Rule changes to be aware of for 2021.

2021 Rules Changes
 
Overtime 2-Point Conversion Requirements
Teams will be required to run a 2-point conversion play after a touchdown when a game reaches a second overtime period. Previously, a 2-point attempt was required after the third overtime period. Also, if the game reaches a third overtime, teams will run alternating 2-point plays, instead of starting another drive at the opponent’s 25-yard line. This is a change from the previous rule, which started to use 2-point plays in the fifth overtime period. This rules change is being made to limit the number of plays from scrimmage and bring the game to a quicker conclusion. Teams can still choose whether to kick the point after touchdown or run a 2-point conversion play during the first overtime period.
 
Team Area
The team area will be permanently extended to the 20-yard lines, starting in the 2021 season. Previously, the team area extended to the 25-yard lines, but this area was expanded to the 15-yard lines last season to create more spacing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Unsportsmanlike Tactics
Video board and lighting system operators have been included in those personnel who may not create any distraction that obstructs play.
 
Feigning injuries
A new framework has been created to allow a school or conference to request a postgame video review about questionable actions through the NCAA secretary-rules editor/national coordinator of officials.
 
Instant Replay – Clock Adjustments
In order to keep the game moving, when Instant Replay overturns a call on the field, The clock will only be reset when there is less than two minutes remaining in the 2nd quarter and less than five minutes remaining in the 4th quarter.
