ひとりで夕陽の中を走るバカってのもねぇ～
Idiots who run alone towards the setting sun ...

The sentence seems to be lacking a verb. What is the function of ってのも and is there an implied verb ending?

I read this link which matches my expectations on というのは to provide a defintion. I can't extrapolate from that to the meaning of ってのも in this sentence。It also seems quite different to the use in this question that I asked a while ago:

～というのもね (and variants such as "～っていうのもねぇ", "～ってのもな～") at the end of a sentence is fairly common in speech. Such a sentence is usually euphemistically saying "～というのも問題でしょう", "～というのもあまり良くない", etc.

Likewise, if you encounter a verb-lacking sentence like "彼もねぇ……。" or "今回のオリンピックもなぁ……。", you can usually assume something negative is implied.
