Visitors to Mike Missanelli’s personal website may have noticed that it now includes a message threatening legal action against the longtime Philadelphia sports personality over unpaid balances, as well as the impending termination of the site itself.

The message posted to the top of MikeMiss.com reads: “Notice of Website Termination. This website (MikeMiss.com) is no longer active and will be permanently terminated soon. The owners of this website will be pursuing legal action against Mike Missanelli for unpaid balances related to the breach of a website services management agreement, as well as for his actions concerning a third-party service provider. For any inquiries, please contact paulweissmanlegal@gmail.com.”

The banner at the top of the page promoting the message also includes a link to a story highlighting “some of Mike’s most obnoxious, outrageous & controversial moments.”

While details of the apparent dispute remain unclear, Philadelphia sports blog Crossing Broad notes that according to the website’s terms of service, it is owned and operated by “Skyride Media Management” doing business as “MikeMiss Ventures.” According to a 2021 article in CityBiz, Marc Falcone runs MMV, which handles Mike’s business and charity affairs. Falcone’s company, Trendsetters Inc., touts management of MikeMiss.com on its own website.

Crossing Broad also reports that a statement was sent to the media from a “Paul Weissman” Gmail account alleging that Missanelli has yet to pay a “significant balance” that remains with regard to his website. The statement also states that “Missanelli acted maliciously by accessing a private account without authorization, altering banking information, and redirecting funds to his personal account.”

Despite the statement, Crossing Broad says that it couldn’t locate a “Paul Weissman” in a search of local lawyers and firms and that no legal action currently appears in any local court systems. The local sports blog also made note of Missanelli’s ongoing legal battle with JAKIB Media’s Joe Krause, who the longtime radio host alleges owes him more than $50,000 in unpaid work for the Philadelphia Eagles postgame show and other duties that were performed in recent years.

A staple of the Philadelphia sports media scene for nearly four decades. Last August, he returned to 97.5 The Fanatic, where he serves as the station’s midday host.

Update: Mike Missanelli issued the following statement to CrossingBroad.com:

“This guy (Marc Falcone) has been a leech on me for several years with promises to make money through marketing me. He hasn’t made me one cent even though I paid him more than 12k in his ‘fees.’ He got me involved to do Cameo shoutouts where monies were going into his account and not mine, even as I was doing the hundreds of shoutouts. Finally, I wised up and cut all ties with him. His malicious responses are simply bitterness at being fired.”

Meanwhile, the Paul Weissman Gmail account issued the following statement to the website, which was then passed along to Awful Announcing:

“Public Falsehoods Are One Thing—But Under Oath, They’re Perjury.”

“Mike Missanelli has made public statements that are factually incorrect. His recent comments regarding the Crossing Broad column are demonstrably false. There is clear documentation, communication, and a record of actions that directly contradict his claims. 

Mike has made serious allegations without presenting the full context—or the truth. We strongly urge him to stop spreading defamatory and baseless narratives. Misrepresenting the facts does not alter reality.

As an active attorney, Mr. Missanelli should be fully aware that such conduct—particularly when made publicly and without merit—carries not only reputational risks but also potential legal consequences. His well-documented history of professional and workplace misconduct further underscores the seriousness of making reckless and misleading statements.

It’s striking that Mr. Missanelli is currently suing JAKIB Media for nonpayment—relying on documentation, timelines, and factual accuracy—while now making public claims that ignore those very standards. You can’t insist on precision and integrity when it benefits you, then abandon both when you’re the one being challenged.”
