Meanwhile, NFL Sundays will never be the same as 10am kickoffs is something I don’t think I’ll ever get used to. Born and raised in Seattle. Some of my fondest memories growing up were rolling out of bed at 9:45 and sitting down to watch some football in my underwear with a bowl of cereal in my lap. (In college, sweatpants replaced underwear and screwdrivers replaced the cereal.) Now I live in D.C. and it's weird that there's nothing on until the afternoon and you can stay up until midnight watching football.

All of my friends who have lived on both the east and west coast absolutely prefer west coast football times. I find it difficult to stay up until midnight or 1 AM watching Sunday or Monday night football and make it to work the next day. I feel sorry for those who attend the games. On Sunday mornings, there is no time to kill before the games start, and the local teams usually kick off at 1 PM.

  I agree except for Monday/Thursday games--prime time football EST ends up being at 5:30 when I'm still at work or trying to get home. Hate it.

Try being a (American) football fan in Europe. Some games start at 2am, watching the Super Bowl usually involves me taking the next day off work as the game usually ends around 4am.

  Or a (European) football fan on the west coast... Games starting anywhere between 3am and 8 am? Actually, 8am is pretty nice. Wake up in the morning, pull a couple shots of espresso, watch calcio, get on with my Sunday.

  I lived for several years in Japan, too. The games start at 3 a.m. there and go until the early afternoon--but on Monday. So there was a lot of furtive checking scores online around the office and extended lunch breaks when word got out that a game was close late. On the plus side, the Super Bowl is on Monday morning so the day becomes a de facto federal holiday for American expats.
