Rant #1: In case you missed the comment

"Senior Management here. I am glad to see that (junior) management has been so diligent in the blog upkeep. Though many of us have real jobs, he is forced to sit at home in his underwear, waiting and hoping for the phone to ring with some job offer to take him far away from here – anywhere, but apparently Atlanta (not a happy ending there). And his main activity – after updating the blog, of course! - is to drink beer and decide whether to use the nearby facilities or just go into the bottle he’s drinking (and I wish to point out that Senior Management has continually stressed the need to use an empty bottle, not the one he is still consuming – all to no avail).
So, the Senior Management is happy to take one for the team with the weekly CB award, though – as (junior) management pointed out – it was far more deserved by the man who shall remain sleeveless. Apparently, the offense was mistakenly thinking that the Force could beat a top opponent without Senior Management being there – despite the fact the Senior Management dutifully brought the beer beforehand to ensure no crying or throwing of toys. Oh, and we did win 22-7. This was not some minor issue like the threat – or promise (such a fine line!) – of the (junior) management skipping town at the end of the season when things really heat up and not helping the Force defend its championship in – hopefully - the playoffs. No, apparently missing a game (after bringing the beer) at the beginning of the season to pursue greater knowledge is the ultimate offense. And the Senior Management would like to point out that we were reading “The Roaring Girl,” by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, not, as (junior) management stated, by Shakespeare. Of course, Senior Management figured that the (junior) management used the only playwright/director/singer he could recall who sounded important, and hoped that he was correct.
And speaking of beer, despite bringing an extra half-case of pounders, the team once again reportedly ran out. Since this event only takes place when the Senior Management is not in attendance, we are forced to conclude that either the squad is playing an extended version of “Hit the Can” and soaking the field with a case+ of beer, or they’re inadvertently opening the cans upside down and pouring the beer out until they look down, notice the spillage and flip the can upright - only to find it empty… and then repeating the cycle with the next can. Senior Management may be forced to write “This Side Up” on all of the cans with a Sharpie, or possibly issue pounder sippy cups to the team. Such responsibility"
