Ken, you are ill, seek help, everyone knows Rossi cheated and nobody feels sorry for him, there is no conflict in saying that and believing that you in your repeated behaviour here are as bad as him.

Stardate: 8.10.2015

Starlog: Ensign K found infected with tribbles. Forced to jettison Ensign K from the Runnerprise, have left him on life supporting planet populated by early humanoid population with 6 months of supplies. Ensign K will be akin to a god on that planet and likely will control the future growth of that civilization. It will be interesting to see the effects on the planet.

Nobody feels sorry for Mike. Nobody excuses anything Mike did. We all know Mike started it. It's irrelevant to the fact that you're being an inappropriate stalker weirdo.

Mike also cheated at a marathon. Does that make it okay for everyone else to cheat at a marathon

What are you, 10 years old? "Mommy, the big mean boy started it".

Anyone with any sense of decency knows that you've crossed way over the line. Nine year olds Dude!

I know this is falling on deaf ears. Obsessed, spiraled in to madness, weird, immature ears.

So I finally got around to watching that vid that Mike did. Has anyone approached the BAA about a abusing a media cred and going that route for a DQ from Boston.

It is clear somone videoed him in the corral and with the security of the race that can't be possible.

Just a thought. But that is the contact information. Granted this is a long shot at a DQ.

Oh my God, the video is fantastic, isn't it? I would seriously love to sit down with Mikey-boy over a couple of beers and ask him how he came up with making such a self-promoting video. I'll have to borrow a phase from the British on this one: it's simply gob-smacking.

The corral clip would be pretty easy to accomplish - just hand it to the guy standing next to you and ask him to shoot 10 seconds of you doing some stretching. Hell, if it wasn't up to Academy Award standards, just ask the guy to shoot it again.

It's the video from inside the ropes during the race that puzzles me. I'm sincerely curious as to how he pulled it off.

And I was the only one smart enough to download it before he took it off-line, so you're welcome. Chalk one up for the stalker. ;-) Luckily somebody who lives in another country could upload it and not have to worry about being sued for copyright infringement.

If he had ran a 3:11 or 2:11 he should have been disqualified over the self-aggrandizing, indulgent, narcissistic, self-serving, egomanical video alone. God what a pompous a$$.

Watch the video again, specifically the start. Whoever is holding the camera is inside the corral and stationary as Rossi begins the race. One of the officials inside the corral even leans back to get out of the camera's way. No way another runner would agree to delay their start to film some stranger. He had to have had someone else in there with him.There is also plenty of footage of other runners without Mike in the shot and filmed from within the ropes. Whoever was filming this was up and down the course for a good part of the race. Unless he or she actually ran, they had to have had access to a car along with press credentials.I can't believe Boston allowed someone this kind of access to the course two years after the bombing. All so some tool could film his own personal "yea me, I ran Boston" video. Seriously, WTF?

Let's recap:

1. Mike cheated at the Lehigh Via Marathon...

And you people now feel sorry for Mike Rossi?

You people are the sickos.

STOP POSTING! No one feels sorry for Mike Rossi (other than his own minions). Stop putting words in our mouths. No one feels sorry for him.

Stop putting word in your mouths? Do you mean how somebody took my Facebook post about how confederate soldiers are still American war hero and turned that into calling me a racist and Nazi sympathizer for 5 pages of posts?

Those kind of words?

Let's face it. Just because people now have to register their names hasn't stopped Mike's minions from posting. They just stopped using all the nasty names and cuss words. But they are all still here and some of you are falling for their schtick.

Dellusional.

I see some of you don't take weekend breaks :)

I'm a little disappointed some of you couldn't ignore Ken... I know it's tempting to entertain his stupidity, but he's pure toxic. Ignore Ignore Ignore!

Mike tweeted "Don't forget my hat!" recently..

I don't believe he's wearing Boston hats to try to show off to his non-runner online friends. He's wearing them to cover those nasty plugs.. of course he can cover his hair with any other hat, but he has dozens from all his Boston achievements so why not use them!?

Mike, post a picture of your gps log after that stellar 5-miler... it is a lot more impressive than a hat anyone can buy. And do get rid of that disgusting grin of yours.

Sorry, when I said that "word on the street is that he got a press pass," what I meant was, "he got a press pass."

And yes, it is pathetic to the nth degree.

We are not falling for their schtick at all. He still cheated. But you're distracting from this.

And confederate soldiers are NOT American war heros, the same as why British soldiers aren't. They fought against this country for state's rights (slavery being one of them). Just because someone says they are American war heros doesn't make that so. They are Confederate war heros, a separate country that lost its war for independence.

Stop posting.

Oh Lord.

Forgive me for asking, but what publication will this article be published in?

Anything that ends in .blogspot.com?

Or is your mother in law also in journalism?

I'm sorry, but I have to flag your post. Mike's hair is off topic. We are here to discuss his cheating, correct? How is discussing his hair relevant to his cheating?

If you contact me on Facebook I will answer each and every one of these. But I will not answer them to an anonymous troll.
