You and I are very similar (I live in Seattle not Manhattan and my commute takes 20 minutes not 5), but I do watch sports. And I still have side projects. I am in fantasy leagues as well, and I still have time for side projects. Do you mean all sports? Or maybe Baseball, Basketball, and/or hockey? Since those sports have multiple games during the week, they can be a time suck. For hockey, I generally only watch Hockey Night in Canada on CBC (assuming I can find a bar that will put in on). For basketball, I generally only watch the 4th period during regular season (they don't start playing till the 4th). Baseball I don't watch on TV because they only show the pitcher and batter, and all the other cool parts aren't shown. But football isn't a time suck at all unless you are trying to watch EVERY game on Sunday. But even when I go on binges of watching every game on Sunday, I still make time for my side projects.
