    Hi out there!

    just want to ask if you're enjoying watching football the whole sunday? I'm living in the Central Europe Time Zone which is 6 hours ahead of your ET. So my sundays begin at 7pm having the first game of the day at nearly primetime.
    My usual schedule is
    Sunday:
    7pm "early" game
    10pm "afternoon" game (lasts until 2am sunday to monday)

    Whenever I find an opportunity to see the Steelers on SNF Im watching the game from 2-5 am. Otherwise I watch the game on demand on monday evening 8pm. Same goes with MNF or TNF on tuesdays or fridays.

    So here is my question. Let's assume you could avoid all spoilers, which is no problem at all, because few talk football over here. Every game is stored online for your demand (in HD).
    Would you rather see more live games and spend all sunday in front of your tv or would you like to have a schedule like mine?

    Im just curious.

    Cheers

    I'm in Japan/Korea time so early game is 0200 on Monday for us until the daylight savings kick in then it's 0300. Same for the afternoon game 0500/0600. The "night" game is at 0930/1030 in the morning on Monday.

    As you can see that's square in the workday. I'm lucky and can manage to be away from the office for most of them. I definitely prefer to watch "live" I just don't have the same enthusiasm for taped games, whether or not I know the outcome.

    Hmm seems like a bad time zone for football. At least most of the Steelers Games are 1pm ET so I can watch them live.

    Lets hear from some US boys which are directly at the source :cool:

    Live games all Sunday. That's pretty much exactly what I do (much to my wife's chagrin) and I like it that way.

    I wouldn't want to watch them after the fact.. I wouldn't be able to know they are playing and not check up on the score to be honest. I'd spoil it for myself lol.

    Same, prefer live games, don't know why it bothers me if I don't know the outcome but it does.
