Another two hours and that will be a bitch.

Can you imagine an easy coast game starting at 9:15 am on sunday if you're on pacfic time? ouch

I agree with the Central Time thing, I'm in CT by like 40 miles.

I was out in California a few years ago (in Santa Monica) and people there treated MNF like a Happy Hour thing, since it started at 6pm local time. I guess a 5pm start would mean most of those people still sitting in freeway jams.

So do I. Real fun, huh?

Funny!! I posted this about a year ago on another board and basically got my head bit off. Amazing how a new perspective comes along.

My thoughts were to consider the west coast one year and the east coast the following year and alternate. We use some of our precious time to go in late one year, and they use some of their precious time to take off early one year. Or something along those lines.

Whatever. The westers have had the advantage for years. Time to pay attention to the East.

I personally LOVED the 7:00 thing!

I for one would love it if it started earlier, given that after October or so, we have a +3 hour difference in relation to the East Coast, so games end very very late

I would love for MNF to start at 8PM! It would make it easier to get to bed at a reasonable time. It sucks when you have to wake up really early to get ready for work the next day.

Sorry for being late to the party. I liked the 7:00pm start in the first week. The 8:30 start now on ESPN isn't that bad and it is the best of both worlds. Now if they could just lose the announcing team but that is for a different Thread and Post.

O

No I'm not but, I wish I was in a position to change the time. Many people told me if it started at 8 they would watch it more.

8 would be great, gives you the chance to be able to watch the whole game instead of just 3 quarters with having to go to bed for work the next morning
