Also sort of bummed they left out the bit about the questionable Turkey Trot.

The Turkey Trot episode would need a whole new article.

What happened at the Turkey Trot episode?

Karma. Karma happened.

On January 1st, 2016 I made a New Year's Resolution to stop clicking on this thread. I kept my resolution through the entire year.

I wonder how this thread keeps going with, apparently, no new news. Nothing new since the Turkey Trot?

But the recent article does remind me of how compelling the story is. I think Rossi and Trump seem to suffer from the same narcissistic disorder. It must be hard to go through life that way.

Guess I'm back for maybe a post or two. Then I'll leave this thread alone again and check back in another year.

I read that he tried to cheat again at the 5k but that he miscalculated and ran over 20 minutes. Is there more to that particular instance of Mike's cheating?

Oh, where to begin. On Thanksgiving 2015 weekend, Mike hauled his cookies all the way to Haddon, New Jersey to cheat at a Turkey Trot to try to "prove" he could run a sub-20 5k and collect on the Brojos challenge, because, as you know, this is what normal people in their right minds do on Holiday weekends. Any-hoo, he tripped the timing mat with his chip some 30+ seconds after the start gun went off, crossing the line with the back of the pack, dicked around the starting line for a awhile, then mistimed the race clock AGAIN (a la Via marathon), although this time he crossed the finish time too late and "clocked" a chip time of 20:20 (around there, anyway). Letsrunners recognized he "Kipped" the race because of the discrepancy in his chip vs. clock time, so to explain this glaring error, Mike tweeted he experienced a "shoe malfunction" at the start of the race, delaying his crossing the start line. This excuse actually failed to explain anything (if this had happened, he would have had to pass almost the entire field on his way to his brand new "PR"). For his heroic efforts, he apparently stepped in a hole or caught a curb, probably on the way back to his car, and wrenched his ankle, which forever cemented November 28, 2015 as the day "The Strong Man Stumbled."

The above is completely insane, and sadly, 100% true.

No greater douche nozzle than Mike Rossi.

Last Summer he missed the LRC Challenge deadline, dyed his hair/beard black, was arrested at a Kenny Chesney concert and denied himself once when confronted by a Philadelphia Magazine reporter at his court appearance(mentioned briefly in Philly magazine article).

In the Fall, he ran the New York marathon in over five hours and pretended that it was because he was a pacer for the 5:00 Pace Group. Apparently, he was running it with a friend and grabbed the 5:00 Pacer sign for a photo op when they were passed at some point in the race.

In the Winter, he made the Philly's Biggest Loser list for the second time.

Movie should be release this time next year

Someone should make a summary of all the storylines. It's so incredibely deep. The cheating is only a very small part of the story.

Let me contribute this:

- the police describing Mike as bald:

- a radio show about his arrest:

- Mike involved in a road rage incident:

The Endless Marathon article is the 2nd most popular Philly Mag article at the moment!

Despite all the acts of anger and stupidity (who can't figure out subtraction to cheat in a 5K?), I'm guessing the most upsetting part of this entire story to Rossi is the police report classifying him as "bald"

So awesome. And I'm waiting for the movie, too.

To be fair - it was "Unknown or completely bald" - from the photographic evidence categorising it as of unknown origin seems about right

Brojos will be stupid to delete this thread just for an interview. Obviously he will not confess. Obviously he doesn't have photos of him running the course. The Rossi thread is epic and should live forever

Mike Rossi playing Mike Rossi will insure it will live on and on with fresh shenanigans to keep it going.

My favorite line from "A Very Rossi Christmas" is "Bald, Cheating and Stupid is no way to go through life, son."

You know it ate him up inside.

Probably gave him the trots.

You go Mikey girl!!! Appletinis for all!!!

The Rock will play Ken in the movie, it's gonna be super-duper awesome. Whoopi Goldberg will star as The Cheater Mike Rossi and win an Oscar for her sympathetic portrayal of a psychopathic loser. Hillary Clinton will have a cameo as Mrs. Cheater Mike and Barb McKeever will be played by the courageous Caitlyn Jenner. Johnny Depp will play rojo, the only natural choice. It will be his defining role. Tony Rigdon will be played by Liam Neesom who will cry uncontrollably when he is named Best Supporting Actor.

Mike Rossi, aka Lydia Romero, your posting on Facebook,

, could not be more appropriate:

1. Saying that you ran the VIA marathon does not make it so or true.

2. Saying that you have proof or photos of yourself on the the VIA course does not it so.

3. Saying that the Committee cleared you does make it so nor does it mean that you ran the VIA marathon.

4. Saying that life is great does not make it so.

5. Saying that you are not Mike Rossi when asked does make it so, it just confirms how big of a liar that you. We know it, you know, and those closest to you know it.

How is it quoting people makes MIke more intelligent or believable? Hey Mikey, from me to you:

"We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." - BenF

I must admit, your talent is not working very hard to remain so.

One additional point given your band wagon ramblings last night during Trump's speech:

Feigning your disdain for democrats and liberals. does not erase the fact that you supported Hillary Clinton (cheaters and liars stick together) and contributed money, does not erase the fact that until recently you were a registered democrat and does not erase the fact that you are a band wagon wanna be. Participation medal lovers such as yourself are part of the liberal and snowflake mindset.
