Deadspin: BARF BARF BARF

The same thing jumped out at me.

Ah! The coked up Sunday night work email!
The mindset going in: “Dude, we’ll write it and send it out now so people will see it when they wake up. It’ll seem really professional to have it there for them first thing Monday morning and we’ll look like bad-ass take-charge bosses.”
