Glad to see the follow-up!

Why does everyone assume Mike will be running the Via LVM again this year? They are putting in 5 extra timing mats along the course this year. No way does Mike want to have to hassle with all the interstate on and off ramps in order to drive to each of those.

Don't know how that got started. He's not even running right now. He's never given any indication that he plans to run LVM this year.

Mike,

email me

Email me your side of the story. Whether or not you will accept the challenge, and anything you want to write. I will post it unedited and without commentary. I also promise not to provide anyone with the IP address from that email. And I will go public with my identity through my blog.

I thought anon journo assured everyone that an article was coming that would be all about the back-and-forth between Rossi and his minions (if he has any) and Ken Stillman. I might have skimmed over the article too quickly, but I don't see any mention of Ken. Just a whole lot of information leading to the inevitable conclusion that Rossi cheated at last year's LVM.

YOU WILL PLAY MIKE ROSSI IN MUSICAL CHAIRS BUT MIKE ROSSI WILL CONTROL THE MUSIC FROM HIS SMART PHONE. THE MUSIC WILL STOP AND MIKE ROSSI WILL GET A SEAT. YOU WILL FLAP LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER LOOKING FOR A SEAT. YOU WILL NOT FIND A SEAT. YOU WILL GO TO MESSAGEBOARD FOR CONDOLENCE BUT YOUR COMPLAINT WILL EVAPORATE IN THIN AIR. YOU WILL CONTACT MEDIA BUT MEDIA WILL SAY MIKE ROSSI WON MUSICAL CHAIRS BECAUSE MIKE ROSSI HAS REACTION TIME OF FELINE.

MIKE ROSSI WILL WIN, MEDIA WILL LAUGH, YOU WILL CRY!!!!

There is no way this blowhard would break those times and collect. I understand he MIGHT have the ability to break 20min by putting in a hell of a lot more work into it then he's ever put into anything else. You see, that's the whole quandary though... look at that nasty little grin on his face. You think his type works hard at anything in life to get ahead? If there's no shortcut he ain't doing it. Even with steroids and EPO, he'd have to put SOME training in... and that is what he will never do.

The first couple were mildly amusing, but time to retire this. Just not that funny.

I've come to a very important decision. I know you've all been waiting to hear from me. I'm sorry for the delay, but I've been counting all my money.

Anyway, the decision.

I will be having steak and lobster tonight. The RD business is good and I never make up my mind, anyway.

Suck it all.

You must be the idiot who made a fool of himself re the "annon" thing and consequently have your nose severely out of joint.

I'm guessing "annon journo" can't confirm every rumor as fact or predict with absolute accuracy what angle every editor or producer is going to take.

FMD some of you people are hard to please, things are on the move, if you want them to move more do your bit to make the story go viral, what ever it is.

On the Ken side of things I'm guessing there's some kind of legal impediment, but who knows.

Of course it's not funny to you. You're the idiot dedicating your life to calling out Mike Rossi for not touching 3rd base on his way home at Sunday's softball game. Could you 'tards get out of your Mom's basement, stop taking unemployment that I have to pay for, and make some positive contributions to society?

BTW Mike Rossi will break 20 and collect $10k thanks to you idiots.

I like that the first comment also calls out Barb McKeever and Bart Yasso.

Also, really hoping that Mike will embarass himself by commenting on this story too. His comments on previous Philly Mag stories were gold!

Wow, is this Mike's home town mainstream newspaper?, if not has his home town mainstream media picked up on the latest yet?

Liked this bit: "We asked Rossi if he would be taking LetsRun up on any of its challenges. So far, he hasn't responded."

Looks like things are getting bit hot around town for you Mike, might be time to take a few months holiday and disappear to that Myrtle Beach holiday condo you advertise for rent.

Funny comment under the Mike's Twitter photo of his Myrtle Beach condo:

@mikerossi22 Look! A photo that verifies something. That's a first!

I'm guessing Mike's reading this so it'll be interesting to see how long it takes for him to scrub it.

That duck waddler has no shot at breaking 20min in a 5K, let alone ever breaking 3:45 in a marathon. The LR community is too smart for MR.

Reality check!

We are approaching 600 pages, 12000 posts.

Still zero evidence that Mike hasn't CHEATED.

Well done LR.

In my experience it's the people who use "tards" are the ones who are "idiots", "taking unemployment" and make zero "contributions to society".
