Quote:1. Every game finishes by 10 at night, so you can check Internet box scores for your fantasy guys before you hit the sack. Translation: You can dork it up more than ever. (I'm not against this, by the way.)
2. Newspapers have all the late scores. Then again, that \"Cool, this paper has the late scores!\" surprise back East was a little like playing roulette.
3. You can watch the early NFL games at 10, skip the late ones and have the entire afternoon for the beach, mountain hikes, girlfriend maintenance or whatever. Very true … if you've been castrated. I mean, come on! Skip the late games? Why not just rip the vertebrae out of your spine and sell them one by one on eBay?
4. You're not staying up past midnight waiting for a winner of those marquee events. It's nice to have World Series games end before Letterman (whoops, I mean Kimmel).
5. There's nothing like waking up and watching a game. Yes and no. For football, it's great: I never liked that interminable wait until 1. It just encourages more gambling. But Game 4 of the Pacers-Celts series at 9 on a Sunday morning? I mean, here's a pivotal playoff game, I'm supposed to be clapping and screaming, and I haven't even had coffee yet? And what about the Patriots-Lions Thanksgiving game starting at 9:30? Can you even think about turkey, let alone over/unders, so early? The Sox just lost a Patriots Day game that ended at 11:30 here. It's not easy finishing a workday when your baseball team has lost before lunch.
Don't all move out here at once, now!

Someones been on ESPN.com
it does suck though on the east coast because for monday night football, you have to stay up til midnight to see the winner!
but the nfl won't change that because they figure that the west coast gives higher ratings, so they accomodate for them. :mad:

Ha! I win!
No really, it does kinda stink on Sunday mornings having the game start at 9:00 a.m. You can't even get out and get anything accomplished for the game starts!
when i went to hawaii for my honeymoon last year in april, it was pretty cool waking up and having baseball right there.
Bill Simmons is great.
If I lived out there I'd probably sleep through football on sundays though.
It takes some getting used to, but it is kinda cool to see games start at 4 p.m. on a weeknight.
And you never have to worry about your morning newspaper being published before the late scores come in.
Yeah but eventually you guys are gonna fall off the earth with all those earth quakes...i will stay up for those late games thank you very much
