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

Ken, you are wrong. Not everyone has commented on his hair, family, timeshare that is not a timeshare, business, etc. I have not mentioned any of those. Have others? Yes, but not everyone and certainly non to the level you have. You also have multiple handles here whether you care to admit it or not. Stop trying to justify your behavor by pointing fingers at others.

Mike,

Since you clearly read this and have changed your Twitter profile pic to the radio microphone, any chance you will

do a call in show? Let the community tell you how they feel about your latest published fame...

Talk to him and convince him to get an introductory meeting/intake at some shrink. This guy needs to deflate.

His kids will suffer from having this dishonest and clearly unstable guy around.

Hi Ken

Spoil Star Wars you should not have done. Attack younglings. Really?

As I mentioned before, I wish him well but he's not the kind of guy who would take constructive criticism very well, so I never felt it was in my place to give him advice.

For your own safety, please don't try to give Mike advice.

Other locals have done this, Mike threatened them and their families.

Mike not only let the evidence pile up, he even tried to cheat again in defiance. He is not worthy of advice. Right now I would bet $200,000 he will never come clean, he's sitting at the bottom of the quicksand so a full reversal would require his ego to do something it simply cannot handle. With time he will be the GOAT running cheat. In all honesty it would actually be extremely helpful for him if someone came forward with the smoking gun pic/video. It would put him out of his misery. A DQ would not be enough for him to unwind all the lies and come clean. That's how egomaniacs function.

But if anyone does talk to him, please tell him to change the hair color and ask him to never ever ever ever wear sleeveless shirts and cowboy hats again, not even for Halloween. That $hit is simply not okay.

Would you really be ready to put $200,000 down on him not confessing? I'm being serious.

Tearing down a wall with respect to radio...all call ins are taped and edited in this day and age...wouldn't help.

I see. I figured a tape delay but it would be hilarious hearing him try to come up with some response on radio.

I figured the microphone pic was just Mike trying to convince us his life has not been changed by his "fame."

All it would take is one advertiser to say that they didn't want their ads planing when he is broadcasting and he would be toast there.

Yep. He cheated to get into Boston. At least Rosie "won" it.

There would have to be a two-way bet of course, but I give a public confession by him a 5% chance tops. Think about it, he's gone through the peak of the scrutiny over the last few months and didn't confess, so what makes anyone think he would do it now or ever for that matter? He invested too much in the lies to unwind them all now, especially to the satisfaction of critics. So yes, if I also stood to receive something then I would bet.I think Mike rode the short bus to school, so it's taken him all these beatings in the head to finally realize he needs to change his strategy. I'm assuming he's trying desperately to keep his Twitter blocked in hopes that the dust settles a little bit. It will take a long time, but he'll also eventually learn that the next logical step is to stay away from races. Question for everyone? Who thinks there's actually a good chance he'll come clean someday and why?

Does this gem on Wikipedia remind us of anyone?

"Other observers noticed that Ruiz was not panting or coated in sweat, and her thighs were much flabbier and fatter than would be expected for a world-class runner."

Mike didn't run 3:11.

Does Mike have any siblings? I know that if my brother called me out on something I couldn't do anything but listen. This guy needs someone close to him to sit him down and tell him to put an end to this charade.

He does have a brother, who is the organizer of the organizer of that half-ass golf charity. But if the wife can't talk any sense into Mike I doubt his brother can.

Ken,

Do you have a brother? If so, maybe he can have the same talk with you.

If not, let me be the one to say "grow the "F" up".

Ken has sisters. Good people. Efforts made. Can lead a horse to water cannot make him drink.

I say there is a tiny chance he comes clean, call it 2%. As a world class narcissist, his mind does not work the way a normal mind does.

As others have said, I'd like to see the heat turned up on Barb McKeever, the RD who is abjectly derelict in her duty. DQ'ing Mike Rossie on the evidence at hand should be a simple decision.

You don't know my family, so don't comment.

I have two sisters. Not good people. Drunks. Both just waiting for my mother to die to collect their inheritance.

0.0%. Now if he figures out how parley it into the heroic then 50/50. It can be done but doubtful he can confirm what everyone knows about him:
