Just spent a week out in Seattle and still trying to recover. It was crazy having the NBA playoffs and first MLB game going off at 10:10am Sunday morning. Sunday "Night" Baseball started at 5! It was nice, but in the long run I think I prefer falling asleep to games rather than waking up to them and not getting anything accomplished at all. Maybe just because I'm more used to it that way.
There's a thread sinewhere on this subject.
Seems that most West Coast bettors & sports fans love their game times.
Being on the East Coast, i dont think i could, or would ever want to adjust watching games starting so early in the morning.
Much of watching sports coincides with eating, and games starting at 12pm or 1pm works better for me...

Same here. Being an old fart I'm up before god, usually 5:30 - 6:00.
That gives 3 hours to make up my mind an then a quick 15 minute drive
to the book and back.
It's hard to start pumping brews that early so I wait until 2nd half
of morning games. Then dinner between afternoon games and late game.
It all wraps up by 8:00 and I'm ready to hit the sack.
No falling asleep and missing the last quarter any longer.
It definitely works for me.
Many years ago i moved from Vegas to outside the country that was on eastern time. Now Costa Rica residents can relate here. When the US changes clocks in November your nfl games go an hour later. So i went from early nfl game starts on Sunday at 10:00 am Vegas to 1:00 pm start to after November to 2:00pm.
Back then Monday nite football had a 9:00 pm EST start time. Then after the states changed their clocks MNF started at 10:00 pm. You needed to be a real night owl to watch those MNF games to the end.

I think it's easier for west coasters. 10am isn't that early, it's just right for me, plus I like having action spread out through the day. I get up at 9am and start putting in bets. so that's perfect for me. What I feel bad is for you east coast guys that stay up till 1am watching a game. How can you do that every night? Then if a game goes to OT or extra innings ouch, you guys could be up till 3am! Most everything is done here by 10pm. Perfect time to settle in for bed and start thinking about tomorrow's games.
as for the nfl if they want a late game it should start at 6 pm eastern on sunday, for the east coast the time will work for east coast viewers when they start the early games at 1 pm.but again it all about money and prime time, that why i hate the nfl so much these days, they think their shit dont smell..it does
