Best US time zone for live sports?

I've lived on the east coast all of my life and am pretty much used to late starts and the occasional lack of sleep staying up to watch a night game.
I sometimes wonder if it would be nice to be out in Cali and have everything get over early. Although it would be weird to have football start at 10am and MNF/Super Bowl start in the late afternoon. I guess you'd still have local games going on late but the big national events would be way off.
Which one would you like better?

between those two i'd prefer eastern.
Central is the best though.

I think Central time is actually the best of both worlds.
But I've never lived in Central time so I wouldn't know.

TV viewing wise or actually going to a game?

West...only if you don't go to church. I'm reminded of a Tosh joke... "it's so hard to be a Christian on the West Coast..."

Was in Seattle for 5 years, now in SD for 3. Nothing like college football at 9 am, NFL football at 10 am.

Mountain.
For NFL:
11:00 am & 2:30. SNF at 6:30.
East is way too late.

central or western. eastern sucks. everything starts so damn late.

as a college kid (and anything younger really), eastern time zone is clearly the best. you get a much needed extra hour on saturday and sunday mornings for football. you dont care about staying up late to watch games, and on weekends i usually wish games were on later to watch at the bars and shite.
also, shite is pretty much catered to you. and, you know when to watch 60 minutes.
when im older, i could see that changing, but for now, eastern time zone.

For college football, west coast is great. But for NFL it can suck. You're not getting crap done on Sundays.
I would love to be able to get up Sunday morning, hit the beach, do some errands, grab lunch, then start watching football at 1pm. As it is, I wake up, aaaaand football. Trying to get to a buddy's place or a bar at 930am on a Sunday suuucks.

Ive been in Mountain time zone for a over a year now and it's awesome for baseball. Late games start around 8pm which is perfect.

We have college football from 8 a.m to 9-10 p.m. on Saturdays. NFL from 9 a.m. to 8-9 p.m. on Sundays.
Nice to wake up to football games.

Travel a bunch and have experienced them all.
Central.
As a college football addict, I particularly dig watching Pac games that go til about midnight. I guess there's a charm to waking up to football out west but unless there's a Bloody Mary involved it feels a little off to me.

CFB games in the MST start from morning to 10. If Nevada or Hawaii is playing then that's straight til midnight.
