Football in the Morning?

KingEleven · Jun 6, 2016

What's better? Living on the East coast, having NFL @ 1, 4 & 8 on Sunday's or 10, 1 & 5 on the West coast. Or something in between?
I live on the East coast and loved when they had the early morning London games and liked the games being on early when I visited the West coast. My guess would be West coast watching is best schedule.

I have lived on East coast my entire life, while traveling to Vegas many times during football season.

I much prefer the game starting at 1:00 PM vs 10:00 AM in the morning.

Also, with the later games ending around 7pm on the East Coast, I find myself settling in for the night.

On The West Coast with the games ending at 4pm, I have no idea what to do with the rest of the Sunday...

I grew up east coast, west coast ~20 years....couldn't go back to the late starts! if anything i'd head to hawaii

I lived in Northern Cali in the early 90`s....I wasn't crazy about the east coast games starting at 10 AM.

I remember going up to this bar called Tiffany`s at 10 AM to watch the games and eat steak and eggs....lol.....I remember it well.

West coast better sleep thru most of the pregame garbage

I like West Coast. Get up .. watch College Gameday.... get right to the games, usually bigten action, catch the other conferences in the middle of the day and then the pac for the 7/7:30 starts. Then, if I am lucky ... Hawaii is at home that day.

But what I really like is that I can start working on going over boxscores that night and start adjusting some numbers. If I was on the East Coast ... just not sure I would catch much of the west coast action which would cost me money.

I travel every week ...the late start nfl games on the east coast .. especially the four hour monday night football games starting at 9 PM just aren't doable when you got to be up and ready to go for work the next day. brutal bad for watching sports. Also, as a kid, I remember having to sneak the radio into bed for some of the late NBA playoff games back in the day because my parents weren't letting me stay up past midnight.

I think central time is perfect. Games start at noon. Perfectly justifiable time to start drinking (if that's your thing).

Plus I like having those few hours after waking up where you can get some food, set fantasy lineups, do some capping, get your bets in - maybe even get a chore done or run an errand. If games started at 10am I'd literally have to set an alarm to get my pre-game shit done. And fuck setting alarms on Sunday.

Way better on the west coast. The earliest games are at 10am in most sports, and most games are done by 10pm. I couldn't imagine watching a game that started at 10pm and going to bed 1am on work night, or any night.

BalmyBreezes · Jun 7, 2016

Seems like 10 am west coast early starts would be better since I never watch pre game shows anyway.

7 am starts it off and you can watch both day games and be on the beach at 2. I love it !

The other night the Warrior game started at 6 PM west coast time.......That`s big time inconvenient I would think.

I like it. Game is over early in time to go to sleep at an early hour

East coast. If I lived on the west coast I would miss every pregame show. Plus time to make fantasy adjustments and any last minute reading. Get to watch snf before bed. Otherwise what do you after 8pm on Sunday?

While I agree, 9 is pretty late to start

I don't watch the pre game shows and would love to be "done" at 8pm

1 pm > 10 am

When I was in Vegas for an entire football season, it took me a month to get use to waking up at 9am just to get to the sports book & get some bets in......I hate the 10am early start on the west coast.

12 noon would be ideal IMO, but 1pm is way better than 10am.
