GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Between talking smack, fighting at practice, getting suspended, buying a homeless man shoes, changing his name, intercepting a pass in his season debut and then helping deliver the best defensive performance in school history, Florida cornerback Jalen Tabor has been involved in a seasons worth of headlines the past two months.Theres surely more to come.The junior from Washington, D.C., is Floridas most outspoken player and one of college footballs more intriguing personalities. Hes likely to take center stage Saturday when No. 14 Tennessee (3-0) opens Southeastern Conference play in Knoxville against the 19th-ranked Gators (3-0, 1-0 SEC) -- the first time since 2006 that both teams have been ranked in the top 20 for their annual rivalry.Tabor will be matched up against Josh Malone, who leads the Volunteers with nine catches for 196 yards and four touchdowns. Tabor welcomed the challenge.I want them to throw my way, he said. I mean, my mom always told me if you play with fire, youll get burnt. So ...For Tabor, thats far from bulletin-board material. After all, he boldly predicted a 12th consecutive win for the Gators during a television interview in August.Its been the same thing happening for 11 years, Tabor told ESPN. The greatest indication of the future is the past. ... Tennessee has come close (to winning) two years in a row, but close only works in horseshoes.Florida coach Jim McElwain was hardly surprised by Tabors comments.It will make for a good read; it will give you guys something to write about, McElwain said. Im not into censorship, OK? At the same time, Im not into giving guys bulletin-board material, but you can take that statement however you choose to take it. Im sure theyll put it up and blast it all over the world. Way to go. Theres a pretty good chance well show up in Knoxville.Tabor has remained in the spotlight since, not always for something positive.He was suspended for a week after getting into a fight with teammate Cyontai Lewis during practice in August. McElwain also suspended both players from the season opener against UMass.A few days after the suspension, Tabor posted video on social media of him buying a homeless man shoes and giving him $20. Some questioned Tabors timing, saying he was merely trying to make up for the fight.I always feel like I want to help people who are less fortunate than I am, said Tabor, who now goes by his nickname, Teez. I come from the inner city where I see stuff like that walking to school. Just to give back, make his day, you know, a couple dollars and a pair of shoes for him is life-changing. We take for granted everybody in here got on a pair of shoes. Everybody in here has some money in their pocket.Without Tabor on the field, Florida allowed pass plays of 24, 30 and 53 yards against the Minutemen. Tabor returned the following week against Kentucky and quickly showed why hes widely considered a first-round NFL draft pick in 2017. Tabor jumped a bubble screen before Drew Barker ever released the ball, bullying his way between two receivers, picking off the pass and setting up a touchdown in a 45-7 victory.Tabor is very, very explosive, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. He can play man coverage. He has great, great confidence, great break and drive on the ball.Floridas defense was even better last Saturday against North Texas, allowing a school-record 53 yards on 50 plays.The Vols should present a considerably tougher matchup for the Gators, who lead the nation in scoring defense (4.7 points), total defense (129.7 yards) and sacks (16).They certainly wont have to look very hard to find Tabor, who was suspended for last years game in Gainesville. Hell be the one running his mouth, probably making plays and likely in the headlines again.You know, hes gone through certain things, this and that, but as a player, as a person, Jalens grown up, safety Marcus Maye said. Hes doing very well, so Im excited for him.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Don Larsen Jersey .

Joe Pepitone Jersey . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.Eight of the best players on the planet will showcase their skills at the ATP World Tour Finals at London’s O2 from November 13-20. From thumping forehands to blistering backhands and miraculous returns, fans can expect to see some thrilling tennis.Here, we pick out the trademark shots to look out for from each of the title hopefuls… Live Tennis: ATP World Tour Finals November 13, 2016, 12:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Stan Wawrinka: Backhand Wawrinka has arguably the best backhand in the sport and unleashes it with not only ferocious power but also pinpoint accuracy.It is different to his rivals backhands, largely because he adopts an open stance side on and drills directly into the ball, which means it carries little top spin and arrives at his opponents far earlier and flatter than they are used to.Milos Raonic: Serve Raonic has one of the fastest and most unpredictable serves in tennis. Following an unusually high ball toss, he holds his racket face on, as opposed to the side-on style adopted by other players, which generates more power and makes it difficult for opponents to anticipate which direction the ball will travel in.Raonic is the owner of the sixth-fastest serve in history, a 250kmh rocket at the 2012 Rogers Cup.Andy Murray: Serve return Murray is a master of all tennis trades, but if you had to pick out one single shot that is narrowly better than the others, it is tough to look past his serve return.His ability to read a serve, his blink-of-an-eye reaction times and his speed across the baseline mean only the very best deliveries evade him.He knows that as long as he gets the ball back over the net, he is good enough in other areas of the game to seize back the initiative in the rally and win the point.Marin Cilic: Forehand Cilic adopts an off forehand technique to his forehand to generate more power and consequentlyy hits harder and flatter than just about anyone else on tour.ddddddddddddHis 2014 US Open win was built on this exceptional shot, which he sends the ball over the net at angles and speed few other players can conjure.It is especially lethal on hard and fast courts, so the fast O2 surface should suit him perfectly.Gael Monfils: Flair shot Monfils is tennis showman and while his trademark exhibition shots may not always win him points and matches, they never fail to entertain.He is prepared to try shots that other players wouldnt even consider, be they hot dogs, pirouettes or flying smashes.Novak Djokovic: Defensive shot Djokovic is another all-rounder who excels in every discipline, but his greatest weapon is often his defensive play and, in particular, his remarkable stretch shot.While most players take three or four steps to reach a deep ball, Djokovic needs just two huge strides and then uses his remarkable elasticity to stretch and return it with a forehand or backhand slice.Kei Nishikori: Jumping forehand Although jumping forehands are common throughout tennis, Nishikori has to rely on it more than most thanks to the fact that, at 5ft 10in, he is almost always shorter than his opponent.Lifting feet off the ground can compromise the form of a shot, but Nishikori unleashes it without sacrificing speed or accuracy.Dominic Thiem: Backhand Thiems aggressive single-handed backhand was a sight to behold for the first six months of this season. It has changed little from his days playing tennis as a child and is one of the most natural strokes in the sport.He tends to glide at the ball, but still generates enough power capable of unerring accuracy. Thiems forehand is not as noteworthy in terms of style but is just as potent.I think the single handed backhand is a beautiful shot, the young Austrian said during a press conference. Im happy there are some young guys that play with it because it would be a shame if it dies.Watch every day of the ATP World Tour Finals, from November 13-20, live on Sky Sports. Full schedule here.
