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

Diversion.

It won't work.

It won't work if you're Mike Rossi.

It won't work if you're the Lehigh Valley Marathon RD.

It won't work.

Mike if you ran a 3:11 so called marathon your next

5Km

19:36----- which i bet my house you can't do

6:19

10Km----- get real never going to happen

40:43

6:33

1/2 Mar-----should we even go there , no way in hell

1:30:45

6:56

It took me 5 tries to BQ and 70+ mile weeks. That's what people on let's run don't understand, running a 3hr marathon is close to some people's ceilings. So yes, it pisses me off when Rossi cheats his way in when I worked my butt off for 3 years to qualify.

I'm about Rossi's age and build and it took me 5 years of running >1500 miles/year, I finally qualified on my 7th marathon try. So count me as one of the pissed when someone cheats their way in to Boston. If RDs and the public look the other way when it comes to cheating, it devalues the whole thing and marathoning becomes like pro cycling. Take a look at the lehighvalleylive.com photos of the VIA race - those runners are putting in supreme effort on a super hot day. They have even more right to be annoyed than me.

Mike Rossi Cheater...

As far as I can tell there no longer is a topic. Just 2 people endlessly going back and forth calling each other names.

North-Going Zax & South-Going Zax anyone?

Unless you are getting married in Pennsylvania in the next couple years, this thread is officially dead.

But if you are getting married in Pennsylvania in the next couple of years, I beg you to book both Mike Rossi and Kenneth Stillman.

Just warn all your female guests beforehand about Kenny's creepy oogling.

That would be an incredible feat - considering they are a few years old.

And don't try to suggest that Mike Rossi has a time machine - if he had a time machine, do you really think we would still be discussing this?

All those runners are wearing light weight racing singlets, not rossi, he is wearing a non-descript black t-shirt.

199 out of the top 200 runners were photographed at the mid race check point. Mike rossi is the only one who did not show up.

Cheating to get a BQ is not a good life lesson for your children.

I'm sorry for you that your eyes and/or your penis have stopped working. Mine are in good shape and I'm sure most of the guys on here would admit to looking at attractive women when they dance.

I don't always look at attractive women when I dance, but when I do, they always seem to be looking at me.

There must have been some pretty angry brides when they got back their wedding videos two years late (thanks to the AG suing you, Kenny) and it's just two hours of bewb shots, zoomed in really close, of the bride and her friends.

But tell me again why brides to be shouldn't hire Mike Rossi because he cheated on a marathon, but they should hire you when you've been sued by the AG and have the lowest rating possible on Yelp?

And yeah, Mike Rossi cheated. I stated it. He's a cheating cheater who cheats.

Hey LoserMikeRossi, why are you on a running site?

I watched the CBS investigation videos.

Do you actually run?

I am old and fat. I do not run. You're gonna have to read a little if you want to know why I'm here.

Sorry to inconvenience you.

You are on a running site but you don't run? Loser.

Plus, you took people's money without giving them a product in return. It wasn't just a matter of getting behind. You would give people the same excuses for years and then stop communicating with them. But magically, if someone else wanted to drop $2k you communicated immediately with them.

Taking on new clients knowing that you weren't going to give them a product based on your prior failure to give other clients their products makes you a cheat. As you and others have said, if you cheat in one area, you probably cheat in others. You want a smoking gun against Mike like the class-action brought against you by the Pen AG.

Fat? check

Old? check

Don't run? check

Cheat? check

Maybe you and Mike Rossi have a lot more in common than you'd like to admit.

I never said brides SHOULDN'T hire Mike. If you could find all my posts you would see that. Mike is an excellent DJ. I have never claimed he was anything less.

What I merely suggested that if there are brides who run, or are marrying a guy who runs, they may know about this situation and not even call because they are turned off by what he did.

An not just brides who run. Any bride who lives in the Abington area, or is a school teacher in the Philadelphia area maybe be turned away by his bullying of the school principal.

Look at that pizza place that recently said they would never cater a gay wedding. In 10 years of business I have never seen pizza as an entree at a wedding. And yet people went nuts and put them out of business.

Wedding are an industry that works on referrals, and word of mouth, and Mike upset more people than he cares to admit. Remember that teachers are NOT permitted to comment on events like this under their contract.

The sad thing is that it's not even his business he would be damaging. And having seniority there'll probably just have the boss assign him as many jobs as he wants. But all the other guys might start hurting for bookings.

The vast majority of people (including many teachers) agreed with theoriginal letter. Hence the reason it went viral.

This is one of the Yelp reviews so on top of scamming people he made racist remarks when questioned.

"Do not do business with this man. Even after all the bad news came out I tried to keep my contract with him and just asked him to change the contract to include a guaranteed delivery date twice as long as he said he needed, after agreeing he never sent me a contract never responded to numerous phone calls or emails. Then he contacted me one week before the wedding asking for a meeting to plan and make payments and when I told him we had signed someone else and we wouldn't be needing him he made several racist remarks and said we were trying to scam him, mind you he still has my $600 deposit and this is the first time I heard from him in 4 months. If anyone wants to see the actual emails please contact me."

Mike Rossi cheated and is a piece of crap but I have no tolerance for this kind of stuff either.

Why are you talking about what brides and grooms who run would think? You can't tell us if they would really care so long as rossi was affordable and not a POS DJ

you're not a runner

I think the Sneetches is a slightly better analogy myself, with the running around in circles to claim superiority.

I just ran across this one today, for everyone's amusement.

my favorites are "the moment I read the story, I wanted to volley Boston cream pies at Mike Rossi’s face" and "just don’t act like a self-important, braying donkey when the district inevitably sends a boilerplate letter"

It is not a child like dis. I think saying that to someone in the first place to go as you mentioned eat a bowl of it is childish. Similar to if you see another guy and say suck it. Do you really want the dude to suck yours? Why else mention it?[/quote]

Is see you are attempting to learn how to use a computer. Bravo.

But you didn't ask your mother how to go about eating a bowl of them. What you could do instead is google a video about "bukaki"

I'd love it if you'd want to suck it, followed by getting beat down. total power move.

Yes, a bunch of idiot parents that don't care about their kids education.

My son's school has an online informational system to keep parents informed and I got pissed off when some teachers went keeping it up-to-date. And if my son had an attendance problem I would want to know about it.

And frankly I don't care how the letter is written. I want to know because I care.

The Abington School District has a FB post with a photo of all the teachers in the school there to support the principal. And the superintendent of the district agreed with the principal and will not change the policy. So basically they told Mike to STFU. And the principal's son had to ask the press to run a story begging for people to leave his mother alone. And the very same day Mike went on ABC news and told them he'd do it all over again.

He harassed a public servant, whom is given the task of educating his children, and then said he would harass her all over again.

I cannot comprehend how Mike cannot see that what he did is wrong. I know I made mistakes and it's all been taken care of now. But how can you harass a school principal and say that it was the right thing to do?
