Video Highlights 2015 Boston Marathon
April 20, 2015
It'd be awesome if Steven Tyler changed his twitter pic.
Caption:
"Look, I'm with Philly's #1 Loser!"
I notice Mike isn't wearing any Boston gear in the pic with Tyler or the previous country semi-star. I'll take it as a sign he's trying to not be identified as "Philly's #1 Loser" to everyone around him. The Boston gear just invites snickering behind his back. The article has taken a toll on him.

Probably not as much as most people think. He's too in love with himself, in way too far, and much too proud to admit to cheating. Via is not willing to do anything about it and Boston can't do anything about it. He will never come clean ala Gregory Price.
Hobby jogging cheaters are only about "look at me". For them it is a social event, not a sport. It is made worse by the "trainers" out there taking money from hobby joggers to help them finish a half marathon and the dilution of road racing on a regional level with the increase in promoters making a buck off of road races.
Crow on facebook about how you finished a half marathon and the praise will come flooding in.....look at me!!! Finish that marathon....now LOOK AT ME!!!. Qualify for Boston....Adore me!!!! He carries his smartphone with him in races and had family t-shirts made for the race in which he cheated (allegedly...) to gain entry. He has no clue what running is about.
Would a hack golfer shout out on facebook that they shot a 185 for 18 holes of golf? If they did how many people would be in awe?
I live near Philly. If his website ever goes back up I'll find out what event he is going to DJ, get me a Josh Baskin powder blue tux, get my old boom box out of the attic, grab some cassette tapes, and CO-DJ his event and see how much he likes it.
You had the stones to cheat at Via, grow the stones to admit you did it.

Great post but the latter will never happen. Rossi lacks the character and courage and honesty to do the right thing. He has defrauded the sport and all who think he is a good person. He's a POS and deserving of everything Karma is throwing his way with so much more to come.
Wonder how many people decided to use alternate companies for their weddings? I don't have to guess. One is one too many. Mike wins!
Do the Millennials even know who Tyler is? Are they even interested in what it takes to run Boston?

I'd guess it was his boss who told him to shut down his twitter. The biggest loser in philly story is not good business. He definitely needs to keep his head down for a few months and let this all blow over. Especially with wedding season approaching.

So I take it Mike is no longer running and training? For a social media guru he sure is weird. Is he in therapy or something?
I'm missing him responding to every post with

because it seemed more desperate every time

Too bad for Mike it will never blow over. Also, his cheating will be known to anyone that searches for him for any reason. Everyone in his life quitely snickers at Philly's Biggest Loser!
Mike has to be so proud. He has disciples now.
Mike had the day off thanks to Victor. Now that he was DQ'd, back to Rossi!
annnnnnnnndddddd.. BUMP!
I can't remember the name of the guy who cheated at MCM and I only know this Miami guy as "Victor". I'm sure I'll eventually forget his name too. Mike Rossi though, he will always be remembered as Philly's Biggest Loser. A DQ would have been the best thing for him.

Oh you mean that thread where you spouted racist shit about Latinos?

Well that may come to fruition after all. Rumor has it, to put it mildly, that a very well respected individual and runner, along with several others, have gotten an audience (i.e., a meeting) with some senior VIA folks to present compelling information and discuss none other than M. Rossi and the handling or more accurately, the mishandling by Barb McKeever.
It's not a rumor. "They" have put together an extremely thorough pitch (excellent team of sleuths and other important individuals, code naming "hair plugs" here for fun), which thanks to Mike's ego includes his turkey trot antics, along with examples of how such blatant cheating is handled 99% of the time. Most importantly, reputational risk to VIA maintaining it's decision is also highlighted. They should have no problem putting an end to this now since their original decision was not conclusive in their own words. Word is one of the committee members flagged Mike in some articles and took up more interest.Mike, karma is just beginning to work its way through you. Don't forget you brought this all on. You might want to continue lying low over the next several months. Hopefully the DW will conincide with the deadline for the $200k offer... What a grand finale

Amazing that people cheat like this... This guy has certainly earned his infamy. I feel sorry for how this reflects on his family.
Running at this level is such a personal endeavor, why one would even want to cheat is just incomprehensible. A BQ is nice to achieve, but it probably is more impressive to non-runners. What Mike did was steal the opportunity to run that race from a legitimate qualifier. In the end he ran a slow Boston and has just looked like a tool to everyone.

Maybe this is the real reason Mike's Twitter went dark last month?!?!
Is this true? If so it's awesome.

How do you put a rumor mildly?
I'm not trying to be difficult, I just really don't know what that means. For example, does it mean it's not actually a rumor at all but you are just trying to "soften" the news or ?
