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

Mike - it's more than obvious you want this thread to die down. Share the photos and it will stop, trust me. Let's say you don't have access to the photos for whatever reason; then please provide ANY evidence that you ran the course. I'm sure as a reasonable person you can understand it's just about impossible for a running community to believe you would have been capable of a 3:11. It's also impossible to believe you have nothing shareable to back up your time. It's that simple, why all the circle jerk? Post something credible on your blog and end this, otherwise you're just a f***ing lying coward.

Get that Mike? Something CREDIBLE.

Not that you took a selfie at the start and they have pictures and video of you at the finish. Not that you just weren't trying, gosh darn it, in all your other races. Something CREDIBLE.

Everything about how you've conducted yourself since the accusations simply point to your guilt.

nice try slim...

The only DQ Rossi is getting is the one he had tonight.

See his FB profile photo.

Good night losers...see you in September

Huh? Did he unblock me on Facebook? That'd be something new. He promised photos too. All these unfulfilled promises! How am I going to sleep?!?!?

Correction. Mike Rossi is all over Google!

I just failed to see that my wife's default search engine was set to Yahoo! As long as all Mike's friends convert to using Yahoo! eh should be OK. If they use Google he's pretty much screwed.[/quote]

That is good to hear!

Mike, how does that make you feel? You, the person in love with yourself, who used to dream about people typing your name into Google .... how does it make you feel to know that they are reading about your cheating?

Surely you must suspect that at least those people with any sort of running background know that you cheated after reading the evidence.

Was it worth it?

Here's my evidence...LVM had ALL the evidence. They made their decision"Our goal was to find conclusive evidence from which we could make a decision. In this process, we uncovered no evidence of wrongdoing on Mr. Rossi's part … The investigation is concluded." (Lisa Walkiewicz, Via Marathon)No BQ for YOU!Buh-bye

Wait, it doesn't say, "Mike Rossi is dad of the year" anymore?

Dammit.

All fair minded people, please weigh the evidence and decide for yourself. Don't let other's opinions sway you.

Evidence Mike didn't cheat:

1. He took a selfie of himself at the start.

2. There are pictures AND video of him at the finish. At the FINISH I say!

3. He says he wasn't really trying, or was injured, in all his other races.

Bummer ... they removed the article!!! Or do I just have a bad link?

What time do you pick up Andrew on Saturday?

What are your plans?

Chuck E Cheese?

Sesame Place?

CVS (to get his meds)?

Then off to KFC so the two of you can stuff your fat faces.

Then drop off at mom's house so she and new boyfriend can laugh at the fat daddy with no job, giving away free DJs with any video package.

Then watch as Ken rolls his fat a$$ out of his futon Sunday morning and calls the Pros for his schedule.

It's a great life Ken. I'm jealous.

must be nice....

Greg TR is a wedding photographer!

Now TWO of the main accusers of Rossi are wedding photographers. Do you see a trend here?

...

Now go away little man

Good Lord! I'm not a wedding photographer. I'm just a dude who bought some Nikon gear when his kid was born and decided to put my programming skills to good use and built a website. I can count on a single hand how many weddings I actually photographed as a part time gig. And I can also tell you that I haven't even used let alone took photos professionally with my Nikon gear in the past 5+ years outside of taking photos at my kid's sporting events.

You really suck at your research, googling my name might not render the most accurate representation of my private or professional life.

Die down????

No, I'm enjoying this sh!t now.

I was directed to this thread by an acquaintance who works at East Coast Event Group. From what I've heard, there's an office pool going around with bets on how long it will take until Mike comes clean.

Cheers!

You are a pile of shit.

I hope your kids read this one day.

Things are escalating if anything. My one request Mike is could you at least register and use a screen name. It doesn't help you at all that trolls are also posting as you.

You have it coming wrote:

Bullying a child? dad of the year?

This is it.

I am going to start contacting the news organizations and forwarding these messages along with the cheating story. I think bullying kids online is going to get better traction with the whole dad of the year angle.

Might as well contact the local PD and DA and make a complaint of harassment too.

Im sick of this shit.

Even if he registers a name, he will most certainly continue posting anonymously as well to make it seem as though he has supporters.

If anyone in the office had 2 nickels to rub together I might believe it...

If anyone is running a pool it can only be one guy.

And no one will get paid anyway because he'll keep the money to go gamble.

Thank you for you interest in my son. I love to brag about him any chance I get.

School is out so I'm seeing him tomorrow and we have to attend a meeting about a BoyScout camping trip to Kentucky in August. Informaly have him all summer, but he's 15 and I bought him beautiful Australian Shepard dog mix for Christmas, so he is old enough to be alone and take care of Hailey for the day. Which I'm sure will involve quite a bit of video game playing as well.

After the meeting we'll go see Jurassic World. He saw it already with friends, so this one is for me.

It's funny you would mention The Pros, because isn't that the business model that East Coast has adopted for themselves. They book everything they can and then scurry around town calling anybody with speakers, a camcorder or Rebel T3 to shoot for them?

That's how I end up filling in for Rossi a half dozen times. He was shorthanded and fvcked and I helped him out. It will be fun to watch all the sucky part-time DJ's disappear off their web page because Bob has no work for them because of all the bad press that Rossi has created.

But don't worry about Rossi. He'll be fine. It's well known at East Coast that he picks the gigs at all the best reception halls so he gets the biggest tips. Even when he is NOT the requested DJ for the night.
