Best time for Sunday football? (1 Viewer)

[Bri]

If you could somehow set your TV to another time zone and the games would magically appear when they do in that time zone, which would you prefer? why so?

First game:

East Coast 1pm

Central 12 noon(I think)

West Coast 10am

As I am up at around 5:30 Sundays, I would love to have the west coast starting time of 10:00. It is just too long a wait for that 1:00 kick-off.

They should flip the GB game and start at noon and NE at 3:30. Late games for more commercials stinks.

It's sunday.

Central time for Sunday games is great, IMO. Noon kickoff, late games at 3. Its easy to push dinner off til after the games, so you don't have to ignore a family dinner to finish those late games.I didn't like the west coast games when I spent some time there, but thats because I was younger and had trouble getting up & ready by 10.

I don't understand why at least one of these isn't on Saturday. It's better for everyone involved...LAUNCH

I love it when kickoff is at 10 AM.

I don't know how I'm going to make it all the way to noon today before I get to see any football. Maybe I'll re-watch the Chargers-Colts game.

I was in Chicago for 7 years before I recently moved back east and I love Central time for football. The 12 noon start is perfect and late games end around 10-10:30 instead of 11:30.

I love it being on the West Coast and the early games kick off at 10am. I usually get up around 8am, so that gives me a couple of hours to get breakfast, check my email, set my fantasy rosters etc. By the time thats done, then its kick off time. The other good thing about it is that the Sunday late game kicks off at 5:30pm and is usually finished by 9pm. The downside is the early game kick off on doubleheader opening weekend Monday night, kick off is at 4pm, sometimes its hard to get home from work before then.

For part of the season here in AZ, the games start at 11am. I find this to be perfect since you can sleep in a little and still have time for a nice breakfast before the beer starts. And the Sunday Night game is still over at a reasonable time. 11am is the winner.

I'm a night owl, so the best time for me would be a 4 p.m. game, an 8 p.m. game and an 11 p.m. game. I could do stuff during the day, then settle in for football until early morning.

One point about the discussion regarding ever playing the Superbowl overseas (and I don't think it should happen, or will happen) - the NFL sucks the European fans into it by having the Sunday games kick off at 6pm and 9pm all season, but then in recent years they've opted for what are 11.30pm or 1.30am kick-offs for many of the play-off games. Of course, the die-hards amongst us will still watch at all hours, or record them, but changing the kick-offs for the playoffs doesn't really tally with their current European-led expansion mode. Not for one moment saying the tail should wag the dog here -hey, I'm just glad we get all the games televised, regardless of kick-off - but it does show a little inconsistency towards the supposed cherished second market in Europe.

Hawaii sucks for TV, but then, it's Hawaii. You have better things to do/watch.

West Coast time has been by far by favorite. Either I can get up just in time for them to start or I can wake up a bit early and go get some stuff done or shoot some hoops.

1 PM by a mile. Gives me all moring to hunt/fish or get in a long bike ride.

When I lived there, some of those 7AM starts were really tough to get up for.

It's defintly a love hate thing. Some days it's nice to get up have breakfast watch some football. Normally I crack my first beer in the second quarter of the 4 o'clock games (my 10am) get a nice buzz going through the Sunday Night game then go out.
