Have you ever wondered to yourself, "Andrew Jackson seemed like a real badass, I bet he could have kicked a bunch of other presidents' asses?" Do you often find yourself imagining what a fist fight between the two Bushes would look like? Well wonder no longer, you can now do that very thing!
Last week in the chat box, several of us started imagining a March Madness-style tournament where every president gets a chance to reign supreme as the most badass president of all time. Now you all get to discuss and decide which one it is. HOWEVER! There are some rules that will be enforced without mercy or leniency.
Rule #1: NO POLITICS. These matchups will NOT be decided by political arguments. Failure to comply will result in a flaming arrow up the ass by our resident Injun, @BNAG8R
Rule #2: These fights are just bare knuckle brawls. They aren't to the death and no weapons are involved. Loser would either tap out or be knocked out.
Rule #3: For each matchup, assume each president is at peak physical condition. We realize FDR had polio, William Harrison died 30 days into office, Trump is a fatass who chokes down McDonald's by the bag full, and Woodrow Wilson was stroked out for the end of his second term. None of that matters. We're talking their peak physical shape. Ford after he won a national championship as a center at Michigan and entered the Navy, Lincoln as a championship wrestler, Jefferson as a nerdy brainiac who never had any real military service.
Rule #4: Any and all arguments pertaining to a president's military service, perceived toughness, perceived insanity, sports career, ruggedness, body size, etc. will be heard. Anecdotal evidence found online is even better. But once again, NOTHING PERTAINING TO POLITICAL STANCES OR BELIEVES WILL BE CONSIDERED.
Rule #5: @BNAG8R will be judge, jury, and executioner in deciding who wins each fight. He will hear arguments and make a determination on who will move on to the next round.
If all goes according to plan, we can have prelimiary debates and discussions in this thread today, and then tomorrow afternoon we'll start choosing winners as long as @BNAG8R is available to do so. So without further ado, here is the bracket, start formulating your arguments, and may the POTUS with the MOSTUS win!
