Narcissta Hanram's Tool Box:
1) Lie. Say it never happened, and you tried the best you could.
2) Distract attention away from your mistake by saying the manager didn't play in the bigs. It's not only an effort to distract, but it's also an attempt to devalue someone's opinion about what you did wrong.
3) O.K., it happened but others on the team do such n' such too. I really don't understand their predilection for this gadget, because it simply an attempt to dilute wrong acts. It's still wrong. When you get to prison, you gunna say "See, I am not alone."
If I was gunna guess what's next, it'd be hittin' the "who are you to judge " button. I noticed his latest comment is one where he hopes (while he's watching the game from the bench today) that the others on the team can do what he can do. So, he's taking a moment to remind you that he's superior. You must not forget this. Don't lose focus. This other stuff is stupid crap that people are wasting time talking about. They really have no right to judge him.
