[COLOR=#000000 ! important]I live in the East Coast so NFL games start at 1:00PM Eastern Time and then 4:15PM and the nightcap is at 8:20PM. My question is do you guys find it frustrating to wake up so early to have to watch these games? I mean everything on TV in the USA seems to be based on Eastern Time.
I mean for the people here on the East Coast and it being 1PM we can eat pizza and have beers for these games and the later games. But i cannot imagine eating pizza at 10am and watching the games. I know many of you guys are used to it but wouldn't you rather have games start at 1pm your time??
Another thing is if you want to watch NBA games or MLB games, games start at 7pm eastern time which is 4pm for you on the West Coast. Most people don't even get off work at 4pm. Now if you only watch your West coast teams like the Lakers, Dodgers, Giants etc its fine but isn't it frustrating watching the world series between the Yankees and Phillies and having it start at 5:30pm your time?? I mean even when the Lakers play the championship, it starts at around 6pm for you guys since thats a pretty late start for people watching at 9pm on the East Coast. Don't you guys find it annoying since all laker games during the regular season and in the postseason start at 7:30pm but then it has to start early in the NBA Finals?
I also find it weird that once its past 10 o clock on the west coast, there is no more games left. On the East Coast, people who do bad at the 7 o clock games need a bailout game etc but for you guys, there is pretty much no games to watch past 10:30pm since its 1:30AM in the east coast. Now i know other countries in Europe, Asia and Australia have it worst if they like American sports because the time there is much diffferent. You might have to wake up at 3am just to watch an NBA game. But for you guys on the west coast, does this bother you?? I know if i was at the west coast, i would find it extremely weird that majority of games will start at 4PM for me.[/COLOR]

. If I were in east coast, i could come home by 7 pm and watch all games till midnight. Sucks to be in west coast if you are a punter and watch lot of games. But then again, I am an engineer and most of the jobs for me are in bay area...so cant help it 
The flip side is sometimes you need to make last minute wagers/fantasy changes based on late news, but usually a half an hour grace is all I need.
