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

Basically Mike left for his Disney vacation believing his 20:xx breakthrough race was safe and came back and turned desperate when he realized he had been exposed again. He posted that useless video in an attempt to defend himself in front of his twitter followers. There is no way in hell (nothing against you Satan) that he really believed he was fooling anyone with half a brain.

then, to cover up his turkey trot cheating, created fake data to try to prove he didn't cheat at a turkey trot. This is what he does

Can someone show me the fake data he created? I must have missed that.

It's utterly fascinating to see how any attempted defense on Mike's behalf turns out to be even more damning evidence that he cheated.

There's only one way in hell. MY WAY. But I'll make an exceptional shortcut for my son. He defined it, defended it, defrauded, uh, deceived many. Love that guy! Maybe more than...well, no, I still burn for him.

All the "long time/first time" posters re saying the same thing. And just because they aren't cheering on Mike doesn't mean they aren't him. In fact many of his minions that attacked me also posted some things claiming to be against Mike.

Sorry guys. But you are all being trolled. None of these are new posters are real. They are Mike and/or his minions.

Ken, you are as wrong about this as you were about Mike having an accomplice at VIA. I'm not Mike. Neither are the other new posters.

Mike sucks. He cheated. I just want him to know that more than just the usual posters read this, even if we are quiet.

Don't be such a meanie Mr. Satan. Me and my friends are going to save Mike and bring him back to our wonderful wonderful world where he is safe again.

Long time lurker, long time poster.

Mike's awfully quiet today. It makes me speculate that something happened to him OFF the internet that's making him see some consequences of his actions in the real world.

It's probably just wishful thinking.

Assume the worst is a safe bet for Cheater Mike Rossi. A guarantee you won't be disappointed.

It might be worth reaching out to this race, they follow Mike and have a race coming up. Maybe they are worried he might cheat their race?

Can we confirm it is a real race? Mike is desperate enough to try to pull a West Wyoming on us at this point.

Rojo, it's a variation on the old days where we would log data/times/mileage, etc in pencil and later on rub bits out and re-do to make it look better. What!, you never did that?

It's what I do. Mean business. Wait Walt....incoming call from Hillary. Tell her I'll ring back right after the Donald call.Hey, if you can get Mikey in a Donald suit and racing a 5k I might reconsider. He's got an impressive waddle, I'll grant you that. I want my son to be happy.

Yeah not bad, he could start, run half a mile (not even that if he didn't want to) and cut across the park and run the last half mile. Perfect really. Life's good.

At the current posting rate this thread is going to blow past 20,000 by the weekend.

what are the chances that this thread breaks 20,000 by Christmas???

We need about 100 posts a day? Seems unlikely?

It is held at FDR park, a common location for tailgating since it is right across the street from all the Philly sports stadiums. Mike probably knows the park quite well. Very easy to cheat by just running across the middle. Plenty of trees provide cover. And since there are so many turns it is easy to hop on and off the course without others noticing. Only 82 finishers in the 2014 race so there will be lots of gaps.

Even if Rossi somehow cheated his way to a 19 minute 5K there it would be meaningless especially after his turkey trot exploits in fact I could make the argument that it might actually make things worse for him.

Not sure if I have posted in this thread before (lurked plenty)...but,

What marafun said.

I don't think he cares about the brojos chump change, it is more important to "prove" he ran the 3:11:45 by hitting/cheating one of these low marks that signify nothing. His ignorant supporters would not understand any of this. Maybe Mike should run for office. This storm comes in waves. This was a biggie yet far bigger are yet to come. He was warned way back and once again. Hang on Mikey. You are the legend you never wished to be. FU.

I don't see this thread hitting 20,000 soon as long as Mike is hitting the mattresses. He was fighting the trolls and racking up the post count all the way until the moment Cecily shared the Abington Patch article on FB. Then, the lights went out.

I actually think Cecily's post took the 1st place Eagles off the back pages for a day.

Mike, issue an apology for cheating at LVM and HTTT and for your subsequent actions. Who knows, maybe you can get a show on E where you resurrect your life thru running and DJing.
