Why does the EPL start their games so early in the morning? They need to start showing more consideration to us Americans. No EPL game should start before Noon ET.themunn":36v4dt3i said:getnasty":36v4dt3i said:What are you doing from 1:00pm to 4:00pm on new years eve that it would ruin your day.

Game is 9.25pm-12.30am(ish) here in the UK though.
Sad times.

Or even new years day when everyone is at home watching TV anyways... Now they have a year where ratings have been a let down, and they decide to have all the games on New years eve when alot of people cant watch?
Ok sure, west coast is fine, but essentially all international viewers in europe (like me) are screwed, and even most people on the east coast are probably screwed since the games will end around 7.30 PM when alot of people are in the midst of dinner plans.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE PLAYERS? Whats the point in making a gazillion dollars as an athlete if you cant make it to your fancy dinner party on Park Avenue wearing a bespoke tuxedo, but you are stuck saying "the ball didnt quite bounce our way" on a post game press conference in a stupid baseball cap?!?
So this scheduling CLEARLY sucks for ME, the players, half the east coast, and the rest of Europe, AND the NFL for getting guaranteed crap ratings.
ARGHHHHH!!!! :rumble: :rumble: :rumble: :rumble: :rumble: :rumble:
NFL football is played on Sunday, period.

Truth. I'll take it a step further and call it the lamest. Everybody and their mother out on the town acting like they are having their first beer.

Hmm, I'll be having my first beer (of the day) around 1:25 PM. :irishdrinkers:
