“Sounds lile a perk, actually. Finally a challenge”

A lot of the stuff Joe says is something my nephew would say when he was 12.

“We should have coins that let us fight each other”

“I want a pet wolf”

Dude loves to troll the media with his inner child

An ex of mine had a wolf along with a German Shepard and another mutty dog, the wolf was the leader of the group, it would escape their backyard and just go on a 3 day walk about before coming back home. When you would take it for walks it would put itself between you and a car or a person walking past you, always assessing if what was approaching was a threat. One of the smartest animals I’ve had the pleasure of scratching the ears of.

I think it was a joke man

This isn’t the forum for it but I suspect a link to the style of leadership we’ve had going here

If you think insanity only started now you ain’t been paying attention. Like Phil Jackson is a fucking weirdo, Pat Riley was giving Shaq a curfew, Popovich was a military grade hardass until Manu and that’s just the names off the top of my head. Don’t even ask about George Karl.

There’s money to be made off of those who refuse to grow up.

Lmao this is amazing. “Hey, man, I howled once. That’s on you”.

the wolf that cried wolf

Yeah ain’t no wild animal going to be willing to give up it’s own life for you the way trained guardian dog breeds will. Took 1000s of years to get that kinda loyalty

So what you’re saying is they are basically undomesticated dogs. Huh, interesting. 

No shit wolves are terrible guard dogs. That’s why you go with guard lions.

My understanding of having a wolf for a pet is that if it goes feral, it will just start killing whatever it wants, and they’re really really big and dangerous animals.

So like would i trust one around my kids? Fuck no.

There’s a reason why you can’t just have one as a pet in pretty much the entire civilized world.

Wolfs and wolf dogs are straight pack animals as well, if they’re left alone they will destroy everything in their path looking for you. They’re a ²⁴⁄₇ commitment and you really need to be a unique person to own one. There’s a wolf sanctuary in Colorado that does everything they can to stop people from adopting them and the only people who manage it work there and can bring them with them. They’re also fucking massive.

Also pretty sure there are some dog breeds that are absolutely more dangerous to encounter than a wolf one v one, because that’s what they were bred and trained for

It also sounds like a very bad time for the wolf. I imagine with all of their natural instincts in tact, it’d be akin to long and slow torture for a pack animal.

They are the only animal we co-evolved with for good reasons.

Humans coevolved with a lot of species, what

Yeah, I mean if he’s just wanting a wolf cause it feels badass why stop there? A male lion or tiger roaming freely would be even better at keeping people away

My friend used to have a great Pyrenees. That pup was majestic and massive.

I have a great pyrenees. She’s a year and half old, 120 lbs and strong as fuck.

Massively protective of the property. Runs laps around it looking for anything out of place and anything different from last patrol gets a full investigation.

And she didn’t need to be trained to do it at all. She’s the dog I’ve had that required the least amount of training. Awesome dogs.

Uppies!

Yeah we have Canadian geese here all the time in warmer months, those things are very aggressive and dangerous lol

He’s gottta wait for the buy one, get two free holiday special 

Reminds me of that guy with all the deer.

If you build it they will come

Yeah, I think that’s what he’s trying to say

Over my dead body.  They can have his brother Jalen McDaniels 

Exactly. Wild that some people in here don’t understand this.

Are you telling me a man just happens to lie like that??? No!!

I used to think his persona was 100% made up until he stopped the team trainer from checking up on an injured Tatum lmao.

Yeah he really might be the greatest troll I’ve ever seen. Every soundbite/interview is eyeroll-inducing but has the slightest kernel of “maybe he just is this insufferable for real?”

Joe making his team practice plays where the ball is going out of bounds. He walks to the back and opens the door. A wolf enters.

Joe: “If you can dodge a wolf, you can dodge a ball!”

There’s no rule that says wolves can’t play basketball

And they’re fucking huge

What’s it from?

Joe Mazulla is a psycho. I remember once in an interview a kid asked him how to keep the players focused while still having fun, and he looked at the kid and was like “fun is a cop out. you play to win.” lmao

He didn’t even crack a smile when he was clearly telling a joke in that post game conference where he used football terms to talk about the game. I do think he’s got a legendary poker face (different than Billips poker face…)

I’m not saying this is a bit but I think for some people I think their brand of humor is mostly an inside joke with themselves.

He does in some some podcasts or radio interviews. He’s obviously leaning into it for the bit, however in this case he may think having a wolf is a good idea because wolves are seen as cool/scary

Go look at the DSM-5. From what we’ve seen of him in public, the dude doesn’t meet any of the criteria

Yeah a lot of people mask it to fit in, I think he’s like “I’m rich as hell and have a championship, imma let my neuro flag fly girl”

By all accounts of players and coaches that have been near him he’s very authentically unique lol

If it’s not an act, I like him even less.
