Maybe he couldn't handle what the Huddle had turned into, and how low they would go to try to gain memberships.

Damn, I was hoping the Browns would name him as the new GM, after all he did such a good job managing that other site!

It was noted to me that a thread this morning about this very thing was posted in the free section of jj, when I went a minute ago to check it was deleted. Very intereresting.......

Odd. No discussion of Matt's great work over at JJ. You'd think they'd be trying to save face by saying so long to him.


Going this way, they just look like Tiger Woods. Move along, there's nothing to see here.

He and Frantz are both douchebags.

They are acting as if he never worked there with no mention of him at all, kind of like all of us that were over there for years that they kicked out.

I looked forward to that 30-60 second train wreck every week!

Remember in Seinfeld when Elaine recommended to her BF, who was running for office or something like that, that everyone should wear name tags in the city?

SO he recommended it...and got laughed outta town and ruined his career?

Maybe Natali recommended the 12 dollar/year for the huddle, it is bombing big time, and he is getting laughed out of his job?

Matt Natali = Llyod Braun

^^Yes!!

Serenity now, insanity later.

He got his job back at Quick Stop.

So far, they have yet to ban the term "Matt Natali". After the word "free" was both entirely capitalized in the Bleacher Seats description then filtered in normal conversation, I'm looking forward to seeing Matt Natali become ^&(^&(^&(^&( ^&(^&(^&(^&(^&(^&(.

Everyone should send him a private pm.
I think I read this last night late and I couldn't find the thread this morning.

Prayers from Youngstown.

If my facebook message had anything to do with this, I'm changing my username to "HUDDLE GOD" haha

Knowing Matt played an important part with jjhuddle, I was very surprised to see that he no longer works there and is why I started this thread. After reading the personal comments and attacks on and about him, I am sorry that I did.

It was not my intent to kick a guy when he is down. Unfortunately, many on here are more than willing to do just that, and to those who do, just remember that your day may come just as swiftly as his did.

It's hard telling why he no longer works there. We can all conjure up our own imaginary reasons why.

What I do know is that Matt is personally a great guy. If/when I see him, he always has a grin and is a fun guy to talk to.

For whatever reason he left, it's sad to see him go, especially at this time of year with the holidays and all. I hope he lands on his feet and I wish him well and good luck.

I'll take your word that he's a great guy in person, but he treated a number of people on this thread (myself included) like shit on that site, so let's not make it sound like we're sitting here making unprompted attacks.

Thank's for the update MN

I really never felt any dislike towards him, mine was more towards Frantz who I think is a moron and a tool.

Anyone think that Natali just took another job? Or was he indeed fired.

Apple... why did you even start this damn thread? STOOPID!

No doubt..especially knowing what the response would be..guess you just wanted to come to his aid when everyone starting knocking him?

This doesn't make you a good guy. It makes you a different kind of asshole.

I see that now. I was naive to think there was more than animosity for him. Obviously there's a different mindset here.

No one here is doubting he is a good guy, but everyone here knows pretty much from firsthand experience that he ran a business quite poorly and alienated a lot of people in the process. Of course people are going to be glad to see he is no longer part of running something as poorly as they did.

I wish him the best, but he sucked at running JJ's.
