Coming from the West Coast and being a natural night owl, I appreciate the "late" games. One of the most irritating things for me was waiting to see an event in California and having someone on the East Coast blab the result. This happens during many football and baseball games, a award ceremonies and, worst of all, elections. Nothing like waiting til after work to vote and finding out your vote is absolutely irrelevant because the outcome was decided shortly after Ohio precincts had closed. They did change the laws so that newscasters couldn't "predict" a winner until Hawaii polls had closed but that doesn't stop online friends from blurting out results.
