Which is the best time zone to watch sports in?

[MrDingleDangle]

Having lived on the east and west coasts, and now shortly in the central time zone, i gotta go with central

east coast-
positive-football starts at 1 so u can wake up, even after a night of drinking, get ready head down to the bar and have lunch and a beer and watch the games
negative- monday night games and world series games can go on till midnight....when u go to sleep u dont know all the west coast scores

west coast-
positive- no games end after you go to sleep.
negative- football starts at 10am, which means if u have to go someplace to watch out of town games, u have to get up at 9am...football and breakfast dont mix...a lot of playoff games for other sports can start at 4pm while most people are at work

central-
same as east coast, but negatives not as bad

I've only been in Eastern, so I gotta go with that.

I would see how being on the West Coast would suck. Football at 10am? Bah! I need my 3 hours of pregame to psyche me up!

West Coast..unless you want to watch baseball games starting at 10pm and staying up until 1am.

Central. Football doesn't start until noon, and most games are completed by 10/11pm. Baseball is mostly the same way. Some of the pacific games can be pretty late, though.

funny i think the same thing when its midnight eastern time and in a few hours gotta go work and i say i wish i was in the west coast watching this game

having lived my whole life in california, the west coast is perfect for baseball and basketball. you can watch up to 4 games during the course of the day.

i'm used to football being at 10am, then 1pm, then sunday night at 5:30pm and monday night at 6pm. having the games 3 hours later would be better though.

but it sure is cold on the east coast during football season...haha. i see all those pittsburgh, green bay, and new england fans in those fat jackets and beanies and it cracks me up. raider and niner fans dress up for the game while you east coasters dress up to stay alive.

I'm on AZ time so I miss everything interesting on TV because the listings are confusing. Some are PT, some other are ET and yet others are both.

Eastcoast fo shizzle. Cuz I would have a heart attack if I woke up @ noon and realized I had already missed the O-State vs. Michigan game. Central would be ok too, but I live in Eastern timezone, so I'm partial to that.

yeah but east coast fans dont have to deal with Raider fans ...well i guess we got Philly fans, which is just as bad if not worse

actually a good article on this over at ESPN Page 2.

I've lived on both coasts and I'd say Pacific time is better. When I lived back east, I used to hate having to stay up really, really late to see baseball scores or watch the Sunday Night football game. I also like having MNF start earlier out here.
One bummer with the west coast is that during March Madness, more of the games are on while I'm at work.

agreed. I've been in Central, Mtn and west coast. Central is definately the best one.

I love the Eastern because college games start at noon. I don't know how I would feel about watching Michigan at 9AM.

I've been in Mountain, Central, and East - Central was the best, not just for sports but for TV as a whole.
