Hey, Brojos ... Since it is most likely that you'll never have to pay out $10K let alone $100K, how about using the capital to spruce the forum up a little?
Maybe something that allows embedded pix and vids, maybe some avatars? Certainly an "Ignore" Button would come in handy
Just a thought

Yeah. We are looking into it. Thanks.

He could never run 3:11, not with Jack Daniels or Pete Pfitzinger coaching him personally, and not even with a pharmacy full of PEDs.
But if it weren't for the 5k challenge, we'd never have the antics at the Turkey Trot, followed by the Nike+ training log. Those were pretty amusing, so maybe it wasn't such a bad idea.
Yeah, I agree. I should have just done the $100,000 but i was trying to reach the non-runner. An idiot non-runner or even some dumb runners might think, "well it's possible for a 3:30 guy to run 3:11 on a super day." Of course, that's a stupid thought. So I put up the $10,000 for the 3:25 to tell people, "No it's not possible to have a super day and run 3:11, this guy can't even run 3:25."

I've always thought you'd put him under more pressure by offering some or all of the money to a suitable charity if he goes under 3:11. That way he finds it harder to give the excuse that he doesn't have to prove himself. Makes a better story too.

I understand that Mike is incredibly annoying, but how much humiliation must we heap on him?
Just because he doesn't acknowledge he's been humiliated, it's obvious he has been. He's obviously got some issues, so must we crush him simply because he's too proud to come clean?
For the sake of his family, I think it's time to back off and be the bigger man.

Maybe you'll make it on 60 Minutes. I bet you could be on Fox and Friends and finally expose Mike for the liar he is. Nothing wrong with investing in your marketing plan.
Go for it!

3. Do you realize your bragging about your wedding video talents in Philly come across to most of the world as no different than someone bragging that they are the best colonoscopy videographer in Philly?
HI MIKE!
The answer is No to all three sadly.
It is fascinating that Rossi is narcissistic in his behavior and Ken is too, just manifested in different contexts but neither one is willing to see or be seen other than in their own self entered eyes.

Have you read anything Mike has done to others? A little golden rule and justice applies to him.
Leave if you think he has suffered enough. We have not yet begun to pile on. He deserves it all.
I agree with WhyamIhere. Mike has already proven that he can't hit the times, is a cheater and a bad person. At this point, the Rojos are just trying to keep this thread alive. They are only interested in page veiws.
Threatening and intimidating people who civilly challenged his results. Disgusting posts about minors who couldn't possibly have anything to do with this. I completely disagree that the term annoying even comes close to describing his actions through this all. If he were simply annoying this thread would have never made it to 500 posts.

Greg Price knew how to be the bigger man.
I don't have a problem with most of the posters here on this thread. Rossi has done nothing to indicate the need for the Rojos to change the challenge. So, this revision has more to do with the Rojos than Mike Rossi.
As you can see, I don't think Ken should be here.

Point taken. Annoying was not the term I should have used, and I stand corrected.
But I think the man has some serious issues, and at some point I think he's been humiliated enough.

BS. When he comes to terms with the evil he has done and sincerely apologizes to those he has wronged then forgiveness has some meaning. Not before. Not ever.

Thanks and I agree with the over humiliation aspect. the fact that he may have issues is up for debate. I'm sure there are quite a few here that believe he is doing this for publicity. Let's just hope others are not being negatively affected by his actions.

Agreed. He definitely regrets that letter at this point. He will never admit it, but there is no way that he doesn't regret it.
