One of my favorite photos. It's me and 7 couples at one wedding. I DJd all of their weddings. #makingmemories"
Wow, seven couples at one wedding and you DJd them, awesome, and I thought I'd achieved a lot in life...
And to think you lot doubt Mike's achievements, you should all be ashamed of yourselves. This even surpasses his 3:11 marathon.

Mikey is too busy beating up Stillman on Twitter to see his reputation in the crapper. Idiot.
I want a cage match!

Mud wresting match and no hitting in the face ok.
"7 couples at one wedding. I DJd all of their weddings"
he states with breathlessness, incredulity and sense of awe at himself for achieving such a momentous feat. Tomorrow the world.

The only thing that might shut him up would be a DQ from Lehigh. We still don't know why they determined the evidence to be "inconclusive."
I think it comes down to two things. One, Mike got his attorney involved and threatened to sue. And even though his time was improbable, it couldn't be called completely impossible. And lack of photos could be explained by claiming the cameras malfunctioned or the photographers were incompetent. We know this to be false, but again, however improbable, not impossible.
The second reason is that the RD simply doesn't care. Maybe if Mike was trying to claim prize money she'd care. But Barb didn't want to get in a legal battle over the 114th finisher who simply collected a participation medal. This would have cost the charity money in lawyers fees to defend their decision in court. So it was DQ him and throw money away that could be benefitting a charity, or not DQ him and just give him his $5 chunk of metal.
And I think it's clear she doesn't care about Mike booting a another runner who worked hard and deserved to run Boston.
It Seems ridiculous though. They would win so easily. Rossi's lawyer Grimes wouldn't be able to do squat.

I think it came down to the money. Hire a lawyer and lose money for the charity or just let the jacka$$ have his $5 medal. Path of least resistance.

To be honest there isn't anyone like that left in his circle of friends, but I'm sure you already suspected that. I heard a brave soul tried recently and it wasn't taken very well, "I thought his head was going to explode". I live very close but I'm watching from very far away if you know what I mean.
It looks as if he has a long road out of denial, although it would appear from one of the recent links that Kip is still in his weird fantasy land of being exonerated - presumably by the West Wyoming Marathon and Pine Hills 5K magically coming to life or similar - the "sheesh" is classic Kip.
Letsrun visitor since '05, but infrequent poster -- I have to say this is probably my favorite letsrun thread of all time. I'm on a deployment to Afghanistan which is quite boring at times; this thread is often the highlight of my day. Nothing like some sweet, sweet schadenfreude.
God, Rossi just invites it on himself. It's awesome. Don't stop believing, Mike!
That said, Ken you seem to have taken things a bridge too far. Maybe you should look at how you can improve your own life instead of building an internet army and spending your life bashing a personal rival.
This shit is too funny. Keep up the good work everyone! #Mikewins

It might be tough to think you're making the world for scumbags like Rossi and Barb McKeever, but you are doing great things. Thank you.
PS. When I say great things, I mean protecting freedom. NOT DJing 7 weddings. You're not THAT awesome.

That must be one of his signature poses. He does it at about 1:11 into his 2013 Boston Strong Video:

Yes indeed...
http://cdn.phillymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/boston-marathon-principal-letter-mike-rossi.jpgMike seems to think the wedding DJ is interchangeable with the priest.
A few years from now those couples will be going through their wedding albums going "who the hell is that guy?"
Or possibly "what the hell? why is the Boston Marathon cheat in our wedding pictures???"
That is if they even put that picture in their albums. Actually, they probably didn't.
are wedding DJs a east coast thing? Most weddings have bands. I have only been to one wedding where there was a DJ and it was a shotgun wedding for a cousin in Florida who was in her early 20s. Never heard of a wedding DJ before that.
It's something Glen from the mailroom does:

I'm not going to ridicule someone's job. I thought wedding DJing was a weekend gig for a college student or something your cousin does for you for free, but if someone can make a living at it, more power to them.

I actually wonder how much time/money Rossi has invested in this so far...

Time is money.
Unless your only job is to DJ events 2-3 nights a week. Then you have lots of time.
If you run into DOD fat fingers tell him to take a break from blowing up terrorists and come defend Mike again, he desperately needs it.

What? with all those floors still unmopped ?
I have been following this from the start so somebody please please tell me what is wrong with Rossi
I am serious.. There must be somebody with enough education and background here to explain it to me.
He seems to have a pretty good life. Wife, kids. Job he likes. Enough cash to be more than comfortable. So he cheats to get into Boston.. I get that..
But since he was caught and exposed his actions just defy logic.... Like a lifetime movie...
