Go to the Runner's World front page right now, and right there is an article about the Brojos offer of $100k to Mr Rossi to run another marathon in his supposed 3:11:45. This was maybe mentioned in the other thread, but who the hell is still reading 11k+ posts at this point.
Has RW ever legitimized LR to this degree?
Runner's World did at one time promote LR by writing that it was full of troll's. We did get some more trolls through that promotion.

Has RW ever legitimized itself to any degree?

Troll's what?
Wow, I feel like two universes just collided!
Whats kinda cool about this... if the runners world crowd takes the time to read the Rossi article at the very least, perhaps it will deter a few of the "hop a bus to the finish" RnR folks.
Here's what worries me. That 5K time... if Rossi got a coach, assuming he hasn't really ever trained for anything properly... he could conceivably run it. Annoys me to think he'd get some $ out of this.
On the flip side... if he did train up for it and run it, he would no doubt talk up a storm about how hard the speed repeats, the hills, the training process in general, actually was for him to complete to prepare for a 19:xx...
And to be honest... odds are he'd end up with a 20:high, and would still talk about the training difficulty, which would prove the point there's no way he knocked off 3:11.
Looks like our old buddy Larry Macon made the front page of RW, too. Wonder if they mention the LRC message board threat (I didn't bother to read the article)

I read that, actually. No mention of his incredible powers of being in two places at the same time. Oh well. Yawn.
