I've noticed there are quite a few Raider and Patriot fans on the Bleacher Report so how about we have some fun and debate on which team is deserving of the Evil Empire moniker.
You Raider fans have Al Davis while we Patriot fans have Bill Belichick.
Raider legend Jim Plunkett was a first round draft choice of the Pats.
Randy Moss played for the Raiders he is now a Patriot.
In 1976 the Patriots defeated the Raiders the only loss of the season for the Raiders finishing at 17-1.
The famous "Tuck Rule Game" enough said.
In a 1978 preseason game defensive back Jack Tatum of the Raiders paralyzed Patriot receiver Daryl Stingley with a vicious hit.
Raider coach John Madden rushed to the hospital after the game and a friendship between the two was formed.
Gene Upshaw Raiders offensive guard also became a friend of Stingley's and was later a major force in securing benefits for disabled players post NFL careers........and who said the Raiders were so evil?
Then there is the stickum used by hall of famer Fred Biletnikoff though legal at the time it was used.
Raider hall of famer Micheal Haynes was a first round pick of the Patriots and was the first Patriot to return a punt for a touchdown.
The Patriots have addmited to a mistake regarding Spygate.
Back in the 80's a coach for the San Deigo Chargers yelled at a light fixture in the locker room saying "Al I know your in there!" to which Mr Davis replied "The thing wasn't in the light fxture I'll tell you that much!".
The Patriots have been accused of bugging and tampering with other teams equipment.
The Raiders were oncs accused of watering down the football field to slow down faster teams.
Raiders logo is a Pirate.
Patriots is a Patriot soldier.
The list goes on and on and on.
So who do you think deserves the Evil Empire crown is it still the Raiders or is it handed to the Patriots?

Huh? You went from swearing and insulting people to being all goody goody and taking on the holier-than-thou personality? Seriously? You're kidding? Scroll up Raidersteve and look at your previous posts, then read your last two posts? You've done nothing but insult teams and people and throw around swears, and now you're saying that you're basically better than everyone because you are wrapped up in AA? While I'm glad to hear that you help others out, let me remind you that you aren't the only one that helps others. I'm a 40% disabled veteran, I volunteer coach multiple soccer sessions for kids of multiple ages, I help out at my sons wrestling and soccer and I help out at my daughters dance/gymnastics and her girl scouts. I've spent many hours talking to soldiers about PTSD, and have helped kids/young adults make decisions about things from college to joining the Armed Forces-and the list goes on and on. See, you're not the only one running around trying to do good. You are, however, the only one running around this article swearing and insulting people and claiming to be better than others due to the things you do and have done (for lack of a better term).

Pats deserve it, I mean come on they win ALL the time(except for the super bowl, haha), and they of course did the stupid taping, that's just pure evil to ruin the game of football like that. Who knows how long they have been taping for, well, other then Belichick of course. Hands down, Patriots most evil.

How can you name the gayest team in the NFL the most evil? The Raiders have always been the evil team, and that will never change.
