Hawaii!!!

Games start during breakfast and end before supper. And you have your whole evening to do what you want, party, catch a wave, go to the beach, take a hike up a volcano, or etc...

I gotta go with the east coast cause of tailgating. I'm not into being totally blasted by noon unless kick off is about to happen

Yeah we don't have rules on the west coast so we get blasted before 10AM

I don't care about the time but would love to live there for the climate. Frigging sick of the snow and dark at 4:30 after Halloween

I live in the Southeast now but lived in SoCal for a long time. It still gets dark in the winter early in California just like most of the country but obviously it is much warmer at that time. One of the other advantages is that the lack of rain means little to no disruption of service if you have DirecTV. In these rainy areas that signal can be very dicey during certain games.

I live in the central and think it's great. Prime time games are over by 11 usually. Early games start at noon. What's everyone's opinion?

I live in the east...love it for 1p & 4p games, but not so much primetime games.

Best I would say is Mountain Time....whenever I'm out in CO during football season, I get the 11a Sun. Morning games, and about perfect for primetime.

West.

But I can't stand football "up here". Even with Sunday Ticket, every game that is shown on CTV is syndicated.

I feel that Syndication is one of the WORST IDEAS of all time. If I'm watching a American football game. Let me watch it with American commercials

By the way. Our version of the FCC has ruled on this and said it is illegal for Syndication to happen

It would suck to live on the east coast for Primetime games. I'm in the central zone and the games are late enough already for people that work

I am surprised that nobody said Hawaii where you can watch almost all of the Sun games & still have time for an afternoon round of golf.

West Coast

Loved it when I was living in San Diego. Roll out of bed and head to Seau's (sports bar) in time for the 10AM start for the first game of the day. And, of course, you're living in San Diego, possibly the best weather in the country lol.

It's worse than that. I'm a Lakers/Dodgers fan too, so I'm often up to 1:30am or later, and start work at 7:30am.

We spend most of the next day talking about how late you stayed up..

I used to like the "routine" of the 1 and 4 o clock games but it is tough to stay up for some of the late games without conking out.

West Coast. I’d be pissed waiting until 1pm for the first game. Plus, if the Patriots lose its early enough to get a sympathy b.j. from my wife so I sleep good that night. So it’s always win/win for me. Patriots win... great! Patriots lose....really great!
whats his name?
