So you will you ever admit that your attempt to break into the wedding dj market in philly while posting here is more than just a coincidence? God knows you didn't find this site for the running aspect.

BTW Ken I want to know your BMI. Is it 50?

I just figured if a no talent ass clown like Mike Rossi can be a DJ so can I.

I actually have talent. I have played guitar and been in bands for 35 years. Can read and write music. I'm not a bad drummer. Have a degree in graphic design and I'm not a bad illustrator. I'm awesome at video editing and can create a same day edit that brides love.

In comparison, Mike has a degree in communications and yet he can't seem to shut up when all the drunks want to do is dance at the wedding.

Seriously,

Nobody wants to hear the DJ shout over the music all night. STFU

Mike is a self-aggrandizing b@st@rd.Check out that 3:11 form and the hurricane conditions our little man faced, the bravery and courage he exhibited...to cheat his way into the Boston Marathon.You win Mike! This is the one true viral video....share share share.

First of all, I believe Mike Rossi to be guilty of cheating. I feel it particularly irritates so many in the 2:45-3:30 crowd because someone training to be as fast of a marathoner as Rossi tries to be does not have manb00bs and biceps the size of Rossi's and trains more like 50+MPW instead of 15mpw Rossi does. Rossi gives the more serious marathoners a bad reputation as Rossi has the stereotypical body shape of a douchebag and not that of a runner. He strikes me as the type of guy who would order you off the treadmill during your 15 miler at a Planet Fitness just so he clog up with a treadmill at a gym by spending 5 mins on it at 8mph because he has to do his high intensity "cardio." He strikes me as the type of guy who would have a Philly/Jersey/NewYorker kind of attitude - probably hits up tanning booths and gambles and picks up leathery skinned chicks on Jersey Shore. He probably lives by a Machiavellian code of morals so the ends justify the means (ie "I must run Boston Marathon".... Or perhaps if it was between himself and a coworker or competitor at getting a job promotion or a wedding deal, he may resort to any means such as hiring a buddy to give his competitor a beating in a dark alley.)

I clicked on that video, again. Funny, that stride of his. I have seen 25min 5k hobby joggers with better form than that. Yawnnnnnnnnn

I have never seen a male runner with those mechanics. Have seen some females, usually wearing cho-pat type braces. None capable of anything close to a 3:11 marathon.

PEOPLE! He had a TORN HIP LABRUM or something! His four hour MARATHON AT BOSTON was THE GUTSIEST SPORTING PERFORMANCE SINCE JORDAN'S FLU GAME. He is so TOUGH HE DIDN'T EVEN GRIMACE, JUST SMILES FROM OLD MIKE BECAUSE HE IS A BALLER. A GAMER. THE MAN IN THE ARENA.

I CAN ALREADY HEAR THE TROLLS WARMING UP THEIR KEYBOARDS SO let me say that A MEDICAL DOCTOR HAS DIAGNOSED Mike. HE WILL GLADLY show you his MEDICAL REPORT if you meet him at a STARBUCKS IN BACKWATER PENNSYLVANIA. AND AFTER YOU SEE THIS REPORT AND THE EGG IS ALL OVER YOUR FACE, MIGHT I SUGGEST THAT YOU OFFER TO PICK UP THE TAB? MIKE WON'T LET YOU, GENTLEMAN THAT HE IS, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AT LEAST OFFER. MIKE IS A WARRIOR BUT HAS A KIND HEART AND YOUR GESTURE WILL TOUCH HIM DEEP INSIDE WHERE HE HAS HAD TO BURY HIS SOUL AMID THE RECENT WITCH HUNT!

3:11:45 is 7:19 pace. According to his Athlinks profile the only races he has held a quicker pace were a handful of 5ks and one 5 miler. Even then he never ran sub-7:00 pace. 7:41 pace for a 1/2 marathon. I think he cheated.

He started running at age 45, said he trained his ass off by running 15 miles a week.

rossi's current "injury" may just be a convenience and has nothing to do with his ability to drive a marathon.

Great, and if you're lucky you'll get the completed product years later after taking legal action.

"Attracted by his “same-day edit” feature — a three-minute video edited on the spot and shown the day of the event — Healy hired Levittown-based Kenneth Stillman Video.

Jessica and John Healy spent $1,500 to capture their wedding day on film. Nearly two years later, they have yet to see the video they paid for."

I offered to push him in a racing chair but Mike wouldn't hear of it, said you can't make an omelet without breaking some bread. He is so much braver than my son, they should put MIKE ROSSI in the media spotlight, he should meet the president and have a monument erected to him in Hopkinton, right in front of ours. When we run down Boylston street we don't think of what happened there, we think of the great MIKE ROSSI, he inspires us all to do WHATEVER IT TAKES.Mike wins!

Hi Mike! Love your latest animation:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMq3Szr8IyQThis is all about you dumba$$ cheater. You win!

Thanks, I've emailed the manager with links to your past 'indiscretions'.

Ken don't take this personally but you're not too bright are you.

Anyone who wants to talk about Ken's obesity or past job performance is welcome to start their own thread on this forum for that purpose. Don't worry, it won't be any less running-related than 50% of the posts here.

This thread is reserved space to discuss the fact that Mike Rossi cheated at the Lehigh Valley Marathon in order to obtain entry to the Boston Marathon.

HA HA HA. Do you think the manager at any reception hall give a rat's ass who a couple hires?

But thank you for the laugh. You are clearly a tool, but at least you aren't one one Mike's minions on you;d have known they don't care.

I have ever had an IQ test, so I wouldn't know. But if you are implying I would post something that would give Mike and his minions something to use against me - yes, I am pretty bright.

I get all my work from referrals. I don't have to get on a "preferred vendor list" and give hall managers 10% of my fees to get recommended. I know I could because if you ever check a "preferred vendor list" you will see that will pretty much list anybody that pays them. Some of the photographers that get recommend at some halls are god aweful.

I think of to as a shady way to do business, but if a business doesn't mind pissing away 10% of their profits I can see why they might to get more gigs. And East Coast does have a handful of DJ's that I greatly respect.

Better watch out. GregTR will break out the Let'sRun TOS again.

I'm pretty sure it's spelled LABIA.

So, it's after 4 PM on a Saturday. That means all of Mike's DJ minions are setting up their gear and won't be posting anything until the wedding or their Quizzo at Big Heads is done later tonight.

Feel free to have an intelligent conversation about Mike for a few hours.

The only person not captured in the mid race photos, THE ONLY ONE NOT PHOTOGRAPHED. Yup, that would be mike rossi.
