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

And if you're a couple getting married looking for a dj and see all this drama? They'll be going, going, gone too!

When you use Google, it says that there was suspicion by a few, but no evidence that he cheated. And it says that there are crazy people out there.

I had mentioned this a long time ago and honestly thought this might be what made Mike come to his senses. East Coast will never play any school events in the Abington School District again. I think that is a "gimme". I know for a fact they will never do any events in he school district my girlfriend works in, and that have in the past. How many other schools caught wind of this and will shut them out com prom season next year?

Then there is all the parents, teachers and school administrators that know about this and have probably spread the word.

Mike thinks there are just 6 people inhere out to get him. But the die has already been cast for years of bad press from this.

And the sad fact is that it's not even his company he is ruining the reputation of.

And for all of the East Coast DJ minions that have been reading along and posting all your nasty things - compare you schedules next year compared to this year. Sure Bob will get you gigs in his bars playing Quizzo for a couple bucks, but we know the better money is at the weddings. And when you're having a hard time making the rent or mortgage payment because the wedding bookings are down, think back to these events and you'll be able to pinpoint it all back to Mike Rossi and his Boston Marathon Medal hanging on the wall.

Actually, it would be entertaining. You want your DJ to have personality and a bit of an edge.

What does your girlfriend do? Does she really have that much clout over the event decisions of all the schools in the entire district?

Gotta agree with Ken here, I was part of the group but don't want to identify myself and turn this thread in to pages of attacks on me. I actually think Sara and a couple of others have become the disrupters in the group. However, it's all academic unless new evidence is forthcoming, which doesn't look like it's going to happen, but it's good to see Ken is least trying to carry things forward and trying to stick to facts, if not always successfully.

.

Sorry but I automatically assume that anyone who doesn't identify themselves as a troll (plus you seem to have been in a different group, I was kicked out for telling Ken to stick to the facts). I don't take anonymous people seriously. If you want to actually have a conversation then don't hide behind a fake name otherwise I'm not interested.

In the school district she teaches in the students actually do the planning, but with guidance from a committee of teachers. They oversee budgets and look into the value of the bids, and then pass that info onto the students to choose between the final options.

They decide what DJ company to go with. If they want uplighting. A Photo Booth. What foods they want. Valet service or not. Party favors. Etc.

So, yes, my girlfriend could volunteer to be one of those teachers, since most teachers prefer not to get involved. But everybody in the school already knows about Mike and East Coast and their name will be tossed out without even considering the bid. In fact, the principal of that high school brought up the subject of Mike's letter to the principal to my girlfriend before she had even heard about it. And he was livid.

It does appear that Mike will escape from this relatively unscathed .. but that is relative to how embarrassing it could have been for him. From what has been reported regarding his Facebook postings, he has been pretty much in-your-face with it all along .. taunting and boastful and arrogant throughout.

However, I've got to think that even he is smart enough to realize he dodged a bullet and then only because the RD didn't want to do her job ... NOT because he cheated intelligently. In fact, he made so many mistakes that all rationale people know without a hint of a doubt that he cheated.

Anyhow, I don't think people should be bothered that he won't end up getting what he deserved. Some of you did an incredible job getting the truth out, and that is all that can be done. Sure, it's annoying that he appears to be so smug ... but in the end, who here would want to be anything like Mike? I know I don't.

I'd like to point out that while Sarah and I had a difference of opinion, there are now two separate entities compiling information to get Mike DQ'd. But it's not a footrace to see who reach the finish line first. We both have the same goal. To get Mike DQ'd because he is a big fat cheater.

And there are probably a few people working on their own looking at possible evidence. And if Mike isn't worried he should be. Because even he has to know that there were LOTS of people cheering runners on and taking photos that day.

And even if he was in one his stupid Boston outfits before he even ran the race, we can spot him in disguise and prove he was never on that course. Because odds are he started the race with one set of clothes to avoid being seen at the first camera spot, and then changed to look different at the finish line.

your girlfriend has a lovely voice:

Ken has envy and he's got it bad

I followed up again today but no response. At the very least I'm documenting the communications thoroughly so that no one can try to discredit this attempt at justice later. I'm actually shocked no one else has identified at least one of the incriminating photos yet. I guess no one else was really looking, but it's better this way. I'll say it again.. Everything that has been produced in this thread turned to sh*t and became inadmissible in the investigation. I'm itching to release what I have but I have faith they will decide to do the right thing than to let this blow up later. Good job everyone keeping up the traffic.

any news on that yet? wrote:

I'm just assuming that he is talking about the bloke under a tree that isn't Rossi. He posted a link to the Morning Call photos ages ago. On one of them there's a bloke stood under a tree wearing completely different clothes to Rossi. Most of the photos are after Rossi would have finished so not sure what he is going on about.

What I really don't get is how are new people finding this thread?

This Saturday a friend told me the story during our long run. Well, mostly the punch line, 47 year old wedding DJ. That was gold, but I thought he was maybe lying. Here I am.

But, I'm not reading all of this. I'm not sure how anyone can be surprised he'd be narcissistic/cheater - have you seen his photo? The guy is fully tragic. He did up a plaque showing he ran a 4:01 marathon? He's not playing with a full deck. That's over half an hour slower than he would have needed to qualify and almost an hour slower than his claimed PB? Yet he brags about a 4;01? Overcompensating for something - I'd guess at least two things, one of which is knowing he cheated to be there. Like I said, a tragic small man. So small.

Crazy he didn't get DQ'd, but I'm not sure I'd spend much time worrying about what will happen to him - looks like he has to spend the rest of his life being himself, what can any of you do to him worse than that? The guy looks to Charlie Sheen's break down as a success story. I guess for some people that is up. Charlie Sheen at his worst is a huge step up from Rossi at his best. Makes sense. Again, a tragic little man.

I do applaud the people who put in a lot of work - that video for the pictures must have taken ages. No getting away from the lack of photos, he for sure didn't run. But, I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about this guy, he's not worth the effort. This thread does seem to take up a lot of his time though, so probably worthwhile coming back periodically to remind him that he cheated. Let him get all f'd up Charlie Sheen on everyone. Good for a laugh.

He introduces the couple, then sits in his car for 3 hours and then finishes the night.

Your wedding just got Rossied.

Mike, you do know you are a psychopath, right? You've been at least told of those tendencies by a professional, no?

Your violent side is raging and this is going to seethe and only get worse for you. But if you want to get to the truth, rage on you POS.

Mike all you had to do was not write that letter and make it go viral. Just think how much better your life would be right now had you just quit while you were ahead.
