I believe he ran 3:11 wrote:
Kenny your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Kenny whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Kenny and Greg mike ran 3:11 it is as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Aerage hoes who picked up running and surprised themselves. It would be as dreary as if there were no Emil Zatopek. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence.
We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which athletic endeavor fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe. You might as well not believe in breaking records. Could the 4 minute mike be broken ? No. But Bannister believed and he did what they said could. It be done. Nobody sees Possible in the impossible. but that is no sign that there is no Possible The most real things in the world are those that neither defeatists nor resigned men can see. Go to the moon? Break 4 minutes? Can't be done. Just because you can't doesn't mean someone else can't. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart mikes race and compare it to your own average rests, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. It is called hope and guts and determination.
No Pre?! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Kenny and Greg nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make people strive to break their barriers.
Can't run 3:11? 1 in a million chance?
Mike did it. Good for him. All your crying and whining on this board can't change that he did it. Whether you believe or not doesn't change it.
Use him as an excuse for why you can't meet your own dreams and goals or let him inspire you to go out and do what others won't because they think it is too hard. It's up to you
Word out
Can Mike play guitar, drums, and a some piano? Can Mike draw and paint? Can Mike edit video? Just barely. But nowhere near the skill and artistic level as I. When I played baseball as a teen I made city All-stars for pitching.
God gave me artistic talent from birth and it has brought me 46 years of joy.
God gave Mike no talent except a desire to make money. And at the ripe old age 45 he suddenly found a desire to run. And to this date it's brought him injury, pain, depression and infamy.
Mike can keep thinking he wins because he's got his Boston Medal that can be bought on eBay for $12. We all know the truth.

Do you think Mike has one single clue who these are? Cunningham, wasn't he on Happy Days? Ryun, wasn't he a Clancy character? Mills? Isn't he a general?
Historian #8 wrote:
Thing about Emil and Bannister, when they did things that people had previously thought impossible there was photographic and video evidence, there were eye witnesses and their documented training and race history backed it up.
Mike is nothing but a publicly exposed FRAUD. Must be painful for such an egomaniac as Mike that everyone knows he is a FRAUD. He knows he can't BQ. He know that we all know he can't BQ. And he can't even have the smug comfort that if he can't physically BQ that he is crafty enough to cheat his way to a BQ without anyone knowing. MIKE YOU CHEATED AND YOU AREN'T EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO GET AWAY WITH IT.

Please stop. It's like you WANT to get ridiculed.
Also, I haven't pulled out the 'You're not a runner' card..but this post makes it tempting. And I'm just barely a runner these days..but you just pulled out the running is bad for you argument that non-runners use everywhere, and minimized the value of earning entry and finishing Boston.

The pressure getting to you a little? Understandable. Take a deep breath, sit back in your easy chair, and read that article above from the lawyer website... it's kind of cool. And go to bed - it's past your bedtime. You need rest if you're going to have a chance of dealing with all this stress without slipping up even more.
Well this is awkward, but I think the easy chair went during the yard sale...

An article in a local publication about the Ashley Madison hack cites you as an example of a well known liar and cheater.

Finally they will stop talking about ME and start talking about someone else cheating. I knew if I waited long enough...Mike Rossi, you are a WINNER!

I have not wondered if Mike can draw or paint, interesting.
It seems that you do literally compare yourself and Mike, I am not sure that you should do that. Do you really believe that God gave you talent and gave Mike "no talent"?? God probably gave you both different gifts. I am not sure the world is ready for 2 Mikes or 2 Kennys.
I believe you can do great things too Kenny ... with all those blessings, I doubt God's plan is for you to be the running school patrol spending all your time chasing Mike over the internet. Go find your own dream and realize it. i wish you the best.

Holy $hit!
Even in his local rag, Rossi is now synonymous with cheating. An article about Ashley Madison and they take the opportunity to drag Rossi into it?
I thought you were joking but I went ahead and read to the end anyway, and there he was.
Marvelous!!!!

Kenny can't catch Mike at running so he tries to on the internet.

My guess is that he printed the story and has it framed on his wall. Assuming there is room between all the other pictures of himself.

Fo' real this weather chick... wrote:
Is just freaking awesome! I checked out her Facebook and the comments to her MR post are like 99.5%, yes he cheated, you're awesome!
She doesn't back down from his twitter-bulling either.
She'll probably get a C&D letter next.. Lol.
The best part is the guy doesn't have a clue. He's the best kind of sociopath because: (1) he's really dumb; and (2) he can't read people. So he just keeps embarrassing himself and he can't stop. He's so used to being a lie, that he just keeps lying because that's all he knows how to do. And, that's the thing with sociopaths, they forget what is true and what is a lie because it actually doesn't matter to them, it's all the same. Which is awesome because the more lies he tells the worse it gets, and he'll never see it because he doesn't have the ability. The guy is his own worst enemy and he will continue to humiliate himself for our enjoyment all the while thinking he is ahead. Just beautiful stuff. You have to love a really dumb, deeply insecure, sociopath - total train-wreck. Thanks for the laughs, Mikey, keep it up! Love the hair.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
^ That's Mike Rossi's post on his Facebook page.
Mike, you do understand that this would apply to you if you had the courage and integrity to fail while daring greatly. But you lacked that courage. You cheated. You set out to do great deeds, with great enthusiasm and with some devotion. When you wrote "must run Boston," it was a grand ambition and worth the pursuit.
Sadly, when you realized that goal was beyond your reach, you weren't man enough to fail. You didn't understand the last line, that even in failure you would never be among those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat, provided you made a real, honest effort in the arena.
You started out with a meaningful goal that is shared by many and realized by some. But you lacked the courage to fail.
And so you cheated.
Theodore Roosevelt would count you among those cold and timid souls. You are everything he railed against.

It's funny because Mike didn't have any critics (on this forum anyway) until he didn't step into that arena at LVM. Had he attempted to legitimately BQ at LVM and ran 3:45 no one here would have cared one small bit.
Posting that quote on his FB is just one more example of both Mike's stupidity and his delusions of grandeur.

I think Mike may have cheated at a marathon in Denmark as well. Boy, he gets around.

YES! Excellent analysis. It's not about the victory, or the defeat. It's about doing your best, win or lose.
(and before the attacks start from Mike or his minions, running or not running is the not the point. The rest of us try and fail. We don't cheat.)

Mike Rossi reacting to all the articles, posts, tweets, and $100,000 challenges that call him out for the cheater he is:

What is not commonly known is that Roosevelt's quote isn't the original, it actually started "Assuming the person referred to honestly competed and didn't try to claim that driving a marathon isn't against the rules, It is not the critic who counts . . . . . . "

Hey Ken I didn't know they gave pitching award to the mounds. Congrats!
God did give both you and Mike a gift for defrauding people. Mike in running, you in taking newlywed's hard earned money.
Please tell us more excuses why you tried to rip off people but got caught. ... depression, time management, deaths, dog ate it... you sound like Mike trying to explain that he is hurt and can't run.
BTW do the chicken dance now that you are a wedding DJ like rossi.
You are both shitty people in philly.
Thanks for your service here.
