Middle school teacher does insane classroom dunk over student, is the coolest teacher ever

A couple months ago, we did a post about Jonathan Clark, the middle school science teacher who put on an incredible dunking display during halftime of a Lakers game. The self-described “pro dunker” has competed in various contests through the years, but apparently, Mr. Clark also dunks when he's being, well, Mr. Clark.

Check out this cool footage of Clark thrilling his students with a spectacular classroom dunk on a Nerf hoop:

Imagine having this guy teaching you about the periodic table of elements one minute then doing this to end the period? Mr. Clark is officially the coolest teacher ever. In fact, I was so caught up in Clark's between-the-legs move the first time I saw it that I didn't even notice the student standing underneath the basket. Holy hops! And holy potential lawsuit. (I also didn't notice all of Clark's jerseys han..

Fan tries to narc on Ian Poulter putting with flagstick in, predictably gets mocked by Poulter and others

Golf media outlets, including us, have harped on the new rule allowing golfers to putt with the flagstick in nearly non-stop since the New Year. First, there was the Bryson DeChambeau craze, then a European Tour pro test, and all along everyone from Tiger Woods to your weekend playing partners have been asked what their flagstick strategy will be. I thought we'd beaten the coverage to death, but apparently, at least one golf fan still wasn't aware of any such rule existing.
While watching the European Tour's Dubai Desert Classic, this out-of-the-loop viewer named Rob (possibly) tried to narc on Ian James Poulter for putting with the pin in. Whoops.

And the responses, including from Poulter, were what you'd expect:

Rajon Rondo remains the greatest free-throw troller on the planet

Throughout his career, Rajon Rondo has always had the reputation that he'll do whatever it takes to win, and we're talking literally anything. Some of what he does can be perceived as punk-ish, and some of it could be called “fiery.” Whichever you believe, there is no denying you'd love to have him on your team, at least for like year or two before he wears out his welcome.
Some of his best antics come when he or the other team is at the free throw line. The L.A. Lakers point guard will try every trick in the book to get in the shooter's head, and his favorite move is attempting to sneak in a high five on them like he's their teammate. There are YouTube compilation videos of Rondo doing exactly this:
That video also omits Rondo's greatest move of all, wiping the sweat from his forehead on the ball before Draymond Green got it back for his second free throw in last year's playoffs:

Wait, is Jeff Bridges announcing a ‘Big Lebowski’ sequel on Super Bowl Sunday?

Holddddd everything. The phone, the door, the horses, whatever. And while you're at it, stop the presses too, because it looks like Jeff Bridges—AKA Jeff Lebowski, AKA The Dude, AKA His Dudeness, AKA El Duderino—has something to say…and it could be huge.

Now, we're no Hollywood insider, but if it looks like a Big Lebowski sequel and talks like a Big Lebowski sequel (and is big enough to warrant precious Super Bowl Sunday airtime), then maybe, just maybe, it's a Big Lebowski sequel. Other than obvious implications and soothing homages—from that Boho chic-pioneering cardigan to the tumbling tumbleweed—there's not a whole lot to go on, of course. Jeff Bridges nearly steps in some glass, stops, looks one way and then at the camera, offering a knowing chuckle to Twitter as much as anything. “2.3.19” then appears on the screen while Bob Dylan's “The Man in Me”—the same tune that scored the opening credit..
