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

Forget about the $100k. I just went to the expo and there is infinate marathon gear, Mike is going to have a field day!!! I hope those wedding gigs paid off, it's expensive to dress the part. Going back to the offer though, Sunday's temperature is looking nice and toasty, all the right conditions for a once in a lifetime 3:11 performance. We're expecting at least a 3:20 from you Mike.

He's given no indication that he's going for the $100k. He says he's just recently restarted running and is going to pace a friend at ~6 hours. Just about everything he says is a lie, so there's no reason to believe that, but there's no reason to think he's going for the $100k either.

Just curious how that would feed his ego?

Sara - I strongly suspect that Rossi has several registered names here, in fact, a new one seems to have materialized today.

Just look for the people who hate me and there you go, and who says I contribute nothing. I'm like a human Rossi detector. I think Ken and Rossi may possibly hate me more than they hate more than each other :)

The men's and women's winner get $100,000.Cheater Mike can equal that with his awesomeness. We just can't quit saying you just couldn't make this up.Be the Monster of Manhattan Mike. #MMM

He's like a child who acts out for bad attention because it's better than no attention. Everyone who mentions his name is in his eyes is paying attention to him. It doesn't matter that people hate him, people know who he is, they're talking about him and to him that makes him important. He'd love for there to be 100 pages of his every move at New York, he lives for it, because it fulfils his need for everything to be all about him. Negative attention is not the worst thing he can imagine, no attention is.

Hey since I'm mike can you please write a 90 page letter of drivel and sign it "runners united"?

Better yet, please go through the trouble of setting up an entire website about me.

Obsessed much?

LOL!

I never once said that you were mike nor do I really care. I am not sure why you think I wrote I 90 page letter. With that said, it is a little coincidental that your use of "obsessed much" and "lol" (the last tweet of tween mike). In addition, I believe that the "website" you are referring to is a google blog page, so there is not really much in the way of website setting up.

I don't always agree with SaraB's predictions on poster identity, but I do this time. Finisher Medal. is either Mike or an exceptionally talented impersonator.

Count me in as somebody who wants SaraB to stick around.

Still never said that you were mike, but if you are, that is your problem.

Thank you. I'm not sure why he hates me so much? Maybe it's because I didn't include any photos of him in my article :)

I don't think our feeding his ego is really a problem. But if he wants it to stop he could always back off the running posts on twitter.

I do commend your attempt Sara to remind us to take the high road. But I think the time for that has past, probably about when Mike came unhinged on a certain female meteorologist for her just posting his story to her Facebook.

Don't forget, another sign of becoming unhinged, was his creating both a Facebook and Twitter account under the assumed identity of a Latin woman. What kind of person does that, I ask rhetorically.

I think Rossi has bamboozled us! Curses. That Mike Rossi and his DJ wit. He always wins. Now he will likely take a selfie and go on twitter to gloat. What a superior person that Mike Rossi is.

Mike - if you're reading this, that just means that you're not watching TV in your PJs. Stay classy.

I don't get why anyone thinks Mike needs to come clean at this point. I personally want him to never fess up. I want to have something to laugh about when I come on this site. I want to see his slow results and laugh about it. I like to see narcissism at play, I think it's fascinating. Feeding his ego? nah, he doesn't need us for that, trust me. See, Mike has a mental disorder. He knows this whole thing is no bueno, but like any addict his disease is so powerful he can't help but seek attention, good or bad. Ran out of Ketel One? No worries he'll settle for the rubbing alcohol. I find this all very entertaining and do not want it to end, ever.

Oh yeah he is such a MONSTER!

Keep using that word . . . it is so cool.

Monster no. Liar? Judge for yourself. Lol

There is a certain amount of truth there. He does not need us to feed is ego. He does that through all his self-validation attempts of tweeting ad nauseum, blogging, and taking selfies like the tween he wants to be.

In addition, there is a small faction of "friends" who blindly (both of the the mice and sheep variety) "rah rah" his every word and pathetic self-validation picture. Lance Armstrong denied his cheating for years. Some of these so called friends are actually laughing and commenting behind his back that he is a liar, cheater and delusional.

In the long run, his continuous attacks and fanning of the flames only creates more of a web-trail of negative reflection on himself for everyone, including friends, family and professional contacts to find.

yawn.

another page wasted.

HEY GUYS LOOK AT MIKE'S PATHETIC HAIR PLUGS AND MAN TITS!

NOT AN INSULT. ... JUST SAYING HE HAS HAIR PLUGS AND GIANT MAN TITS!

For the record, I don't think he has moobs. In fact, he isn't in bad shape for a 48 year old. The hair plugs are bad, but a DJ can't afford too much.

But you are coming off as a Mike fan or Mike, himself. Just think about that.

Do you think SaraB is just lying about the hair plugs?

She still can't provide any proof.

I don't care. They look like hair plugs to me. But... its not like Mike to cheat or anything... is it?
