If you are going to say ridiculous west coast paranoid things, at least spell them correctly.

The funniest part, of course, is all the people who disagreed with the contention in the OP are East Coast people.

It's spelled site, not sight.

Oddly enough, I thought he did mean "sight" when I read it. As in, 'an East Coast sight bias', which I took to mean people on the West Coast have better peripheral vision! ("The [East Coast] announcer didn’t see it as the horse was way back.")

I'll have to admit that your reading of it makes more sense! I have to remember to cite it.

Frank is not an "East Coast" announcer. He grew up in LA and worked in CA to begin his career.
