Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

The posts from the two Canadians just proves that cheating is a bigger deal that anybody thought. Mike doesn't think cheating is a big deal. He's probably cheated at many other things in his life as well.

The one thing we know is that everybody hates a cheater. Including couples planning a wedding. Think about that. If he is willing to cheat at something where the only person who loses is himself, what would stop him from cheating a client out of money?

Some of the reviews on Wedding Wire for East Coast Event Group say that the photography services were absolutely horrible. And their site shows no staff photographers, which means they probably subcontract a bunch of hacks or college students.

You either have a personal beef with Mike Rossi or you have a mental problem.

Which is it?

Ha !, Was thinking the same thing. Like an obsession of some sort

Oh, good God; that is ridiculous. The next time you see Mike, tell him to fess up and this will fade away.

Hi Mike

The irony of this entire thread is it would have long been buried if not for Mike continuing to comment on here. I'm starting to think he's actually enjoying this.

Hi Mike

Joke is on you. It can't be Mike. He has a big job as a DJ. Right now, he is probably spinning the latest from The Wiggles.

Not much to say. I'm not on board with the current direction of the thread. While I believe Mike deserves pretty much what comes because of the principal letter more than the cheating--I don't think it's our responsibility or right to stray into his livelihood..this path could directly impact his family otther than being embarrassed that their father was a jackass to the principal and a marathon cheater.

What the hell do you expect me to post? My blog link????

Well, here..

Got to you too, eh? That's a very toned down rhetoric from your posts earlier in the thread.What did the attorney send you?

All he could afford was a mix tape of DJ Running Rossi.

I don't think anybody on here has endorsed messing with his income. Least of all me. Somebody suggested earlier that we should post bad reviews on his Yelp page and I suggested against that. I just checked it and there is still only two reviews.

I am merely suggesting that the bad press he has caused for himself will have a butterfly effect. If you knew somebody in the Philly area and they told you they were getting married, after congratulations wouldn't the first thing you'd tell them would be to stay away from Mike Rossi and company? I know I would.

And while he thinks he is dad of the year because of all the bozos that sent supportive messages on his FB, the reality is that he pissed off every teacher who read that story. You can't make comments claiming your children learned more in 3 days than a whole year at school and not ruffle some feathers.

And teachers come in contact with a LOT of people. Not just students but they are generally good people who are involved with their communities and charities.

I don't think he'll feel it right away. Maybe not at all if he's one of the senior DJ's in the company. The boss might make sure his schedule is full. But some of the other guys just might end up with lighter schedules, and that affects the bottom line of the boss' revenue. And that can't make him happy.

Smart business people know what bad press can do. His boss would be a fool to keep him on. But I'm certainly not going to call his boss or encourage anyone else to do so.

You're simply reading too much into this discussion.

Mr. Rossi finally called LoserMikeRossi to confess. I was there with a camera to catch the momentous occasion :)

Ok, many people have been requesting that a movie of the bridge photos be made, so here it is, animated gifs in two parts. Note

that the files are quite large (166 Mb and 88 Mb). The sequence covers 7:49 AM to 8:38 AM, and encompasses at least the top 200 runners.

If you want to do your own sleuthing, the photos are at

https://www.dropbox.com/s/p87ovbdrg5ynuuw/photoroll.zip?dl=0

or you can go to the marathon photo website yourself, choose 'browse',

then sort by timestamp:

http://www.racephotonetwork.com/QPPlus/SearchBibNumber.aspx?EventID=1557975&_AccountNumber=2770

Analysis:

I looked at the top 200 finishers. The grid on the right panel of the movie is ordered by total finishing time. Numbers turn green when a runner appears in a photo. I was able to find 185 of the 200, below

are the runners I could not (in red in the movie). Either I missed spotting these runners in the photos, the photographer completely missed these runners, or the runner didn't pass through this spot on the course. Some of these runners are in photos at other points on the course. If you spot one of them in the bridge photo sequence, please post the photo number.

Show me where I ever posted anything other than to question his results. I never advocated doing anything not directly related to his cheating.

This is the strongest evidence supporting Mr. Rossi so far!

Have you thought about changing your handle from 'You Know You're The Joke' to 'Psychological Projectionist'? Also, re your first sentence, you do realize you're posting to the World Wide Web?

As much as we all appreciate you making the videos, I wouldn't recommend making the photos available for download. I'm sure they are copyrighted and Mike is probably on the phone right now with the photography company.

I didn't download them and I don't suggest anybody do it either. As long as nobody downloads them before they are removed from the dropbox there is no damage done.

No one is questioning this evidence, specially not the RD. that's why he shifted the guilt test to something almost impossible to obtain.

I meant that the fact 15 of 200 people were not visible in the photos was the strongest evidence in favor of his innocence.

Later in the race when the runners have spread out and people have dropped out there are photos of the 25 runners that finished before him and the 25 runners that finished after him. And the angle of the photos is such that we can see about 40 yards behind the focused runner. Yet Rossi s nowhere to be found.

Explain how that is possible, smarty pants.
