    Do you know why Rossi wears a white suit to the wedding? Is it like a form of wedding camouflage so he will blend in with the background? Is his hair died orange ? What kind of product does he use to die it this color?

    Also the groom has his lip pierced. Why didn't Ken or Mike advise the groom to take the lip piercing out for the wedding? I'm just wondering because when this video is watched 20 years from now, will that thing still be in style?

    I only say something if they are chewing gum.

    re: LMR

    Mike has to give advanced notice on the marathon challenge, so no he isn't going to run one.

    Love the new Boston pic Mike.

    Still in the game?

    Nice try. Douchebag sets up his gear so it's in the video and photographer's shots and you try and blame US for not asking him to move?

    No, it's the other way around. It's common courtesy in the industry to try and stay out of each other's shots. We make an effort to try not to ruin each other's product. In one shot you can see my second shooter. You'll notice he's not BEHIND the groomsmen, even though we could have shot from behind them and gotten a good shot of the vows.

    What it comes down to is that Mike is so oblivious and unprofessional that he just sets up and doesn't think, "Hmmmm, I wonder if having this speaker in the air behind the groomsman's head is going to look unsightly to the guests and in the photos?"

    All he had to do was set the speaker on the ground and sit in the first couple of rows with whatever he was DJing from so he looked like a guest. And he certainly doesn't need toby pacing behind the groom during the vows - when he's not even playing music. He can definitely sit down for that.

    In the end he's just an unprofessional douchebag. You would know that if you had seen his demo on his Youtube channel. Not only does he have to be the center of attention, he has a misspelling that has been pointed out to him several times and he's too lazy to fix it.

    Should have known better than try to ask a simple question. Did not accuse you of anything, asked a ?, and it seems like the videographer would know more about where people should be, so thats why I said that.

    Leave it you to prove what an irascible chap you are and perceiving slights in everything.

    Sorry if my reply came off as harsh. The way you posed the question it seemed like you were trying to blame me and the photog. Ultimately we all try and work together and normally if I see something I will say something, unless I'm short on time. I could have said dieting about the gear, but I never would have anticipated him pacing back there. That was just a dick move and he should have known better.

    That 3:43 in Philly seems to be an outlier. Has it ever been confirmed that it was a legit performance?

    His HM split was 1:47:08. His second half was 1:56:44. So he faded quite a bit. This seems pretty much was he's capable of on a decent day. It's more or less in line with his other times: Nothing to write home about and certainly not BQ material.

    I liked that Hal Higdon bit on cheating: Someone with a moral compass would not even think about doing it.

    Case for Rossi:

    even if he cheated, he didn't hurt anyone.

    Fvck that weddingplannery talk, really.

    Various versions of Stillman: I couldn't care less about how badly people want to book you. Take you and your huge gut to letsplanafvckingwedding.com.

    What I care about is the RAT called ROSSI. The serial cheater. The self-absorbed sociopath. The wannabe-runner.

    Can't wait to see this RAT failing at another run in 2016.

    That's the problem with RATS: Even if they don't hurt anyone, people don't want them around.

    You seem to have a problem with your CAPS lock.

    Again, Rossi didn't hurt anybody. You're just angry in life and looking to vent, and found someone to focus on.

    Sad really.

    Thanks for the analysis. Not really correct though: I care a lot about running but can't stand people cheating. It goes against everything the sport is all about.

    If you come here to tell people they shouldn't be calling out cheaters then that says more about yourself. Or you are a Rossi-sympathizer.

    Sad really.

    Wtf. Looking a bit aggressive, Mikey. Or just taking yourself seriously? Preparing for the next course to cut?

    Let's do this.

    How were you hurt?

    Did he stop you from running the race? Did he stop you from winning the race? Did he reduce your self-worth from qualifying and running the race?

    I'm sure you are aware of what he's implying.

    Either way, really lame-ass trolling, dude.
