Could somebody please fill me in on the history between Ken (LoserMikeRossi) and Mike? I have no desire to wade through the entire damn thread. Thanks.
Ken fell asleep on the job and Mike had him sacked.

Ken has a grudge with Mike and saw this as an opportunity to mount an attack. Both of them are probably awful at what they do so there's some DJ/photographer/videographer bad blood drama between them. Anyway, Ken is like 400 lbs and is super annoying. He hasn't done a damn thing to push the DQ agenda. However, he's responsible for about 80% of all the posts on this thread so I guess he has contributed. You should actually read through the first few pages when he first posted, super entertaining. It was obvious Mike was responding since the back and forth became very personal (one kid was called a gimp several times). Good stuff. I hope the best is far from over.

Sorry, correction, Ken looked like he was asleep but his head was down cos he was looking at his mobile phone. The fact he was motionless for half an hour with his head down looking at his mobile phone had nothing to do with it.

I don't know, that blog he linked actually did a good job of summing up the extent of Mike's proof that he ran.

Explain away wrote:
Please do so then! That is, explain away the points.
And while you say it's easily done, make sure they are plausible. I can come up with no legit scenario that explains away all these circumstances. But I'm open to being shown.
Rather than do that, perhaps instead you can explain how any of this is new or different to what the LVM already reviewed.
But the poster (youself?) said the evidence was just a few circumstantial points that can be easily explained.
I've heard no plausible explanations so was hoping you'd enlighten me.
The only refutation I heard was regarding his previous results -- Mike said he wasn't trying or was injured. That didn't seem plausible to me. I've never heard an explanation for no photos or for his unusual (for him) response to the race of his life.

Wait. Now you're accusing this guy of child abuse?

If you truly feel this is happening then it is your duty to contact DFCS about this. All you have to do is contact them and they will have someone come out.
What proof do I have except that he's a cheater. Has been caught redhanded cheating and won't own up to it. He harasses anybody who tries to speak out against him. He makes disgusting comments about people's children on an internet forums. He only seems to take them to Philly sports games (things HE wants to do), and we all know Philly sports fans can be nasty and drunk at times.
They would just tell me they can't do anything without real proof. But those of us who have been following the shenanigans of Mike Rossi knows that he does not provide a stable household to raise children.
The school district tried to do their job and informed the Rossi's of an attendance issue and they got body slammed in the press by Mike. They need to keep an eye out for falling grades, aggressive behavior, and possibly even bodily harm. I hope the teachers will take note of every bump or bruise they see on these kids. Because Mike is not right in the head.

What's really weird and strange is that I seem to have become emotionally attached to Ken.
PS Ken, I've also heard of your reputation on here so please don't take that in a homoerotic way, more of a concerned granny way.

Ken and Mike are bitter ex-lovers. When they split Mike got the cat and Ken got the house plants. The cat since disappeared and everyone knows Ken does not have a green thumb (the plants died).

Actually there are no real valid refutations to the previous results. This tidbit is also missing from the LR post but I think it's important to bring it up. MR claims that he wasn't racing. Well he claims that now, after the fact.
From Mike's original blog he posted it on 5/21/14:
The most important part of preparing for a race (no matter what the distance) is having a solid plan.
Building up the miles and increasing your speed are important aspects of a good training plan, but they are only two small pieces of a complete training regiment.
Diet, proper sleep habits and sufficient amount of rest are also vital and, as I found out first hand last year, proper strength training is a key component of a good training plan.
I trained all year (2013) for the Philadelphia Marathon, all the while thinking that just because I was running more miles I would be able to handle the load. What I failed to realize was that in addition to increasing my miles, I needed to get stronger.
The result? I hurt my IT Band just a few weeks prior to the Philly Marathon. I was devastated. I had been training all year for the marathon and didn't know at that point if I'd be able to run it.
I went to an orthopedic specialist who diagnosed me with IT Band Syndrome (Runner's Knee) and sent me to a PT who stretched, foamrolled
and iced me to the point that I could run the race.
I was told that I really couldn't do any more damage by running but the pain made it very difficult.
However, there was no way I wasn't running in that marathon! So I managed as best I could, popped some Advil (and Tylenol) and went for it. My knee felt OK , until mile 3 when the pain kicked in. I was fortunate just to be able to finish the race.
Following that experience I made it my mission to find out why I had this pain and to do everything I could to make sure I didn't have this problem again.
After a few weeks recovering from the marathon, I started back on a new plan that consisted of running and strength training, specifically to build up the strength in my thighs, quads and glutes.
I incorporated squats, leg presses and a lot of stretching, and started doing these after EVERY run.
The result? A complete recovery and ZERO IT Band pain. And I have increased my mileage significantly, running 2 half marathons, a 10 miler and a 5 miler all since March 30.
I know a lot of runners dread weight training, but let me tell you it has been a godsend for me. I make sure to do these exercises AFTER my runs and the results have been remarkable. My speed has increased tremendously. I PR'd by 6 minutes in both the half marathon and the Broad Street Run (10 miler), and just last weekend won my age group in a 5 miler.
This sounds like an idiot who knows nothing about severity of an injury and someone who definitely considers their 80 minute 10 miler and 1:40 half times PRs and not training runs.

My goodness, I can't believe I missed that bit about Rossi tweeting the Ridgon hospital pic. This guy is just pure scum and shameless. If I cheated and got called out like him I'd be hiding in a foxhole for months. EVERYONE YOU KNOW WILL READ THIS THREAD AT SOME POINT MIKE, DON'T KID YOURSELF. But you are much bigger than this right? You have fans online and that tune in to the station. You have a family name to protect right? The world is looking at you Mike the savior, patriot, marathon man...
