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

I went back and checked. Ken came in somewhere around pages 170-175 under the name LoserMikeRossi. They were some good laughs for sure and Ken seemed much more stable back then.

I swear, you couldn't make this s#it up if you tried. The absurdity of it all just hit me the right way, and I read the above laughing with tears in my eyes.

God, I can't wait until Sunday. Please Mike, promise us you'll run.

what was Rossi's username on this thread? Anyone have a link to a pic of Ken?

Does anyone have any idea which Wave or Start Mike is in for NYCM?

He is assigned to wave 2, blue start, corral F. Runners can move back in waves or corrals, but not forward.

Don't remember which usernames Rossi posted under, but my first good laugh came when Rojo duped him by posting that he couldn't trace anyone's IP address. An outburst of pro-ROSS comments followed and then Rojo traced the IPs back to that backwater hellhole in PA. It was precious.

I know my friend, I know. The whole thing is just perplexing. From the principal letter, to the Boston video, to the BM gear, to garorage&vodka exposing him, to the massive spreadsheet put together to rule him out of all the VIA photos, to the special forces team trying to DQ Mike, to the Ken meltdowns, to the Rent-a-lawyer, to the Mike Ross... I can't take it

We really have enough content for a movie already and NYC hasn't even happened yet!!

Remember, Mike is a DJ and onair personality (still trying to figure out wth that means) and not a dentist. He will inevitably keep trying to dupe everyone. Kip went into a deep black hole so the online drama died down. Mike has fanned the flames so much it's going to be good for a very long time.

I was just thinking the same thing. You can't make this stuff up. Mike Rossi may be the smallest most embarrassing man alive. His whole world is just one bull sh*t story after another - and as soon as you shine a light on any of his stories, it's just humiliating for him. Everything is so sad. The fake name choice? Clever. Trying to prevent people from knowing which 5k he (supposedly) ran so he brag on social media without people knowing the real story. Leaving out all of the key facts that make his "accomplishment" embarrassing to even think to brag about, especially if you were someone who could ever have actually run a 3:11 marathon. It's just more and more tragic. That start photo? I would die a million deaths if my friends and family saw this stuff.

And then here is the kicker - there were no timing mats or photos on that course - with his history, it is just as likely, that he Rossi'd the course and cheated to his sad age group "victory". That's how he rolls.

Someone should call Guinness, the new World's Smallest Man - Mike Rossi. Congratulations, Mikey.

At age 48 on air personality = one or two last minute overnight shifts a month on a crappy country station when someone calls out drunk. You gotta hear him to believe it.

So in short, his wife is the bread earner.

Indeed, thanks for the summary dudes.This is all hilarious. Seriously, this whole saga (sidestories and all) is awesome and needs to be documented in some way more easy-to-digest than 900 kabillion message board posts.

we should commission someone to write the story. broadway musical, perhaps?

Dang I was hopeful there was some justice in the universe and he would be in Green and get peed on from the top of the bridge runners.

Or the prize fight between Mike and Ken (their physical paths have got to cross someday) they're both obviously reading this thread, and responding to it and each other via twitter, so things can only fester until one of them really blows.

We did leave out the Latina profile that Mike created on Twitter and Facebook. As I recall she was a self proclaimed bad ass Chica that doesn't take shit.

He used the profile to follow and harass those of us he identified. Most notably a Philly female meteorologist that is a way better athlete than he could ever dream of becoming.

He may have deleted her profile but she will live on.

He basically admitted to it:

Don't poke a hornet's nest and expect butterflies to come out.

Yes and it's our duty to keep this this coal mine going. I believe much much funnier things are still to come. I have some free lance movie maker friends who usually do comedy so they might be for taking this project on.
