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

It's been fun, but there is just too much negative energy here and too many new a$$holes who post bullshlt and lots of great people who used to post all the time who have left or gone underground. I'm out. Life is too short. I'll be in kona. Hope to see some of you there. Paulo knows how to find me.

So very proud of my little man! Our name is LEGEND!!!!! What a Father's Day present!!!!!!!!

Go to Google and type in rossied. That's my boy!!!!

That is great. His very own definition.

Not ALMOST but FAMOUS!

Close, but not famous, infamous. Think he was shooting for famous, but a man without honor gets what he gets.

Although the first link was mentioned last night as just added, the second one is very relevant and funny and relevant.

I hope everyone has been trying to reach Bob Palio to let him know the damage Rossi may be doing to the reputation of his company.

According to his Facebook book it looks like Bob has had a rough 6 months with family members being in the hospital. It would suck for him to be getting back to work and find some idiot is causing bad press because he's too immature to admit when he's been caught cheating.

Let's make sure Rossi doesn't cause any more collateral damage.

Knowing this guy has had to deal with sick family members makes me want to harass him LESS - not more.

Keep your eye on the prize here -- a cheater and a race director who is out of her depth.

Those photos are far too cropped (MRI) to be of any value. Or now maybe I should say "rossied."

Nobody said to harass him. Just inform him of what one of his employees is doing. Last night many people vowed to start taking Rossi's attacks on children to the press. If that happens East Coast going to get mentioned. And that's not fair.

I'm just suggesting that he be informed and he can do what he wants with the info. But at least he's not blindsided.

Mike has no dignity.

5000 posts on 6/5

6425 posts on 6/15

1425 posts and rest of day to go so about 142/150 posts per day

prediction:

June 20: 7000 posts

June 25: 7500 posts

July 1: 8000 posts

August 1: 9000 posts

September 1: 9500 posts

September 12-15 Lehigh Marathon 2015 race weekend: 10000 posts

so:

6/15 am: 6425

6/16 am: 6683

Net Posts: 158

this would accelerate the timetable for 10000 posts a bit:

158 a day through end of June would be 2370

so 6683 + 2370 = 9053 on July 1

I think this will slow down, but it shows no signs of deceleration in quantity, serious deceleration in quality.

6/17 am: 7022 posts

We are ahead of schedule for 6/20 7K

339 posts over last 24 hours +- v. 158 posts previous 24 hours

Twice as much activity. If this pace holds 10k posts by July 1.

I still think it slows and we hit 10k around this years LVM.

DUDE, Ken, whomever, stop making this a personal vendetta and bringing workplaces into this. Stick to Rossi the runner wannabe, the clueless Race Director and Committee, Rossi's continuous web of lies and deflections.

Nah. Yesterday was a banner day with Mike Rossi posting under several different aliases egging Ken on who took the bait and responded accordingly. Nobody else really participated so as soon as they quite the numbers will plummet.

Rossi was responsible for at least 50 of those posts which is skewing the numbers a bit.

Once he shakes off his Chicken Dance hangover, he will be online under half a dozen names.

Good morning, Mike.

I do not believe there is any confirmation of Rossi posting on this page. Just assumptions.

IF Rossi is posting on this page, then there should be proof: he should change his Facebook profile picture to a picture of a sunset and a mountain.

Or a tiger. Or the Philly Phanatic. Any of these done within 24 hours and it will be clear, otherwise non-believer.

This is surreal. What is funny is that Mike basically threw a flash bang into the room and distracted everyone. This has gone from a thread about a guy with zero evidence he ran a marathon (other than the finish) to a Philly showdown soap opera. The next twist will be a dance off between Mike and Ken because there is no evidence Mike ran the LVM and the RD buried her head in the sand. What a freak show this has become.

Every time I see his "Always Given Never Earned" medal rack I want to hurl.
