He could be undefeated and 3 time Olympic medalist and his haters would call him a "second group" kind of guy.

It's called jealousy.

So much for the claim that Salazar and Rupp made that they don't bother (waste time) with letsrun.com.

They ALL read this and surely some have posted anonymously. Anyone who thinks otherwise is naive on too many levels to count.

Here's the start point of the LetsRun.com reference the poster is mentioning.

The broadcaster listened to our pre-race podcast.

They mentioned LetsRun a few times on the broadcast. Another reference was before I even woke up that made our twitter feed:

But what does that have to do with Salazar and Rupp and LetsRun.com? Of course at some point Alberto came on LetsRun.com or people associated with him did. His lawyer sent us a letter in 2012 asking for the IP addresses of 127 posters. I'll see if Robert is fine with me posting the letter. I wish I had posted it at the time because it's naturally going to influence our interactions even if I try and not let it.

Oh man, PLEASE PLEASE share us the names of the 127 posters they wanted IP addresses for. I would love to see which posts they find objectionable.

how can you stand to have that necklace bouncing around for 2 hours?

25,746 people finished Boston this year including 7 80+ year old men. Galen didn't.

Of course he has only lost to three people and isn't a second group kind of guy; he drops out of every marathon in which he knows he won't place, and he would end up in the second group (or worse) if he didn't drop out.

This is a very weird post, it makes no sense at all. Do you really believe what you are saying or are you saying this to get a response?

Okay, I'll bite.

1. You do realize Galen Rupp could have literally walked the rest of the way at Boston just to have "finished", right? He still would have likely done so in less than 3 hours.

2. There is a difference between competing at the very highest of levels and just finishing.

3. I'm guessing you either don't have asthma and/or have never suffered from hypothermia while running. It's not fun and will only get worse given those conditions.

4. Just stop. Seriously. Look in the mirror and say "Galen Rupp can destroy me in a marathon any day of the week. He is better than me." It will help you get rid of your animosity and, for some reason, anger towards him.

How many of those 25,746 won a big marathon race just a few weeks later, in a very impressive time?

He's run 5 marathons, has only bettered 2:09 once and twice ran slower than 2:10.

Whether he'll ever run faster than 2:06:07 is entirely conjecture.

He's definitely not a top tier runner in top marathons.

Perhaps you meant that he's not even a second group type of guy.

Oh the joy of listening to crickets chirping. I'd love to see the look of all those trolls who called him a 2:09 guy after his recent result. I'm sure they will still think of something. 2:09 must be the average time of all his marathons, so they might still call him 2:09 guy. I can't wait to see him against Mo in a marathon. Ok he is no Bekele, but this guy is still the real deal.

I feel bad that you have nothing better to do than troll on a beautiful Friday :(

You know Bumble has a new section to meet friends - maybe you could try that out?

Throughout history the greats are torn down by the mediocre, the sad and pathetic ones who have done little to nothing.

Way to answer with action, not words.

A true champion!

The "2:09 guy" argument has been replaced with "he's not faster than Ryan Hall" as evidenced on this and other threads.

I think anyone who's been paying attention knows that Rupp has a decent chance to beat Ryan Hall's illegitimate time on a legitimate course. If and when that happens, what will the argument then be?

He didn't say that, bro.

No IP addresses were given out. What do you think would happen to their website traffic if he did that?

I want to see which posts Salazar thinks are libelous. I suspect most of them would not even come close to qualifying in a court.

Actually, we trash Rupp because he's a dirty doper. It has nothing to do with jealousy.
