Game 6: John Quincy Adams vs. Super Bowl VI

The Cowboys crushed Miami, 24-3, led by QB Roger Staubach and the Dallas Doomsday Defense. Yawn. The game was in New Orleans, but they played outdoors and it was cold. It was 1972. We ordered eleven pizzas for this?

The Adamses were like the Mannings of Presidents, the original family dynasty. Young Adams was a fine diplomat, but he became president under shady circumstances. There were five candidates in the election in 1824, and none received a majority of the electoral votes. Andrew Jackson had the most votes, but the decision went to the House of Representatives (thanks, Twelfth Amendment), and they picked Adams. He would have needed to really stink up the place to lose against the lame Super Bowl VI. Adams did have troubles with Congress. He admitted no new states to the union. He lost his re-election bid to Jackson. We ordered eleven pizzas for this? Still, he got it done. A close decision goes to Q -- and the Presidents -- in this match.

SCORE AFTER THIS MATCH: Presidents 5, Super Bowls 1.
