![]() It was 24-6 at halftime, with the Cowboys in firm control. Unfortunately, they fell behind 10-0 after the first quarter. Congrats, Mountain time.The Eagles fell 33-13 to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 15. Other than that, I would rather watch my primetime TV shows at the same time as the East Coast, because I will get FOMO so bad. MH: I will give the Pacific time zone credit for being the proper area to be in to watch the current best team in the NBA, and being an alright place for watching sports in general. Honestly, I have a hard time coming up with a single reason why Pacific is better though. Man, Hawaiian time fell for me, but you’re right. But also that can be fun sometimes because everyone is tired the next day with you. JD: I have no specific problem with Eastern time other than late-night NBA. Then you just feel anxious about staying up so late to watch the Warriors. MH: Eastern time zone is fine, until you get to the 10 p.m. This is feeling like a battle between East and West for which is worst, to be honest. JD: But you get to be a West Coast fan and basically keep Central time. So it's a bit like Pacific Time Zone Jr., but connected by Seahawks fandom. I'm going to assume most Alaskans are Seahawks fans due to its proximity to Seattle. MH: Alaskan time zone is weird, because you can only be in Alaska for it. It splits the difference between being too early and still giving you a full day. JD: I’m willing to give Central a solid two seed here. Sorry, most of the midwest - two extra hours away from the East Coast sounds nicer than one hour. Premier League isn't outside the realm of possibility.West coast NBA finishes early enough to get sleep.East coast NBA starts when you get home from work. ![]() At the same time, I don't want to split the difference and say Mountain time. I can't imagine one hour making all the difference to me. their time than I do at 7 in the morning. I got up at 7 for an NFL London game and it felt weird, like there's a whole group of people in another part of the world that is more energetic at 1 p.m. But I also think you have to consider energy into this. MH: I would credit Hawaii time for making it easier to get through Warriors games. FIVE extra hours lets you convert standard hours you'd be at home anyway into sports hours. You finish the entire dang football day by 7 p.m., meaning you still have time for an evening swim or going out to dinner. I just don't feel like deviating one hour from standard makes THAT much of a difference. JD: Premier League is a big problem with Hawaii, but it's an acceptable sacrifice. NBA and NHL have similar setups, but West Coast games tend to end after midnight.ĭownside to Central Time Zone: Not getting up early enough to watch Premier League games, and NFL London games are a little too early. This is also fitting for most college football games. ![]() Should you choose to watch all your locally televised games from start to finish, you can get a good night's rest after Sunday Night Football. You get a whole morning to set things up, and then from noon to 10, you get an entire slate of football that finishes just before a reasonable bedtime. It makes NFL Sundays easy to compartmentalize, schedule-wise. MH: My reasoning for central time zone as No. You get morning NFL, west Coast NBA starts as soon as you get home from work. James Dator: Hold up, what? Hawaii is definitely No. Mark Hinog: I have Central No.1 (obviously). What follows is a discussion of how we reached these rankings. Here are our final rankings after much discussion: time zones: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Western, Hawaii, and Alaska. Each region had its own pros and cons, which means it’s time to finally settle the argument: Which time zone is the best for watching sports?įor the purposes of this argument, we’re going to be focusing on the six U.S. Fast-forward 138 years and this is a serious concern. When Sir Sandford Fleming proposed worldwide time zones in 1879, the Scottish-Canadian inventor probably wasn’t thinking of sports.
