| | | We've combined the XFL with television's most popular reality-based show, "Survivor."
 Every week on Page 2, we'll vote one team out of the new eight-team football league until we're left with a "champion" next week. That way, you won't have to suffer through the league's 10-week regular season and then the playoffs to determine the last team standing.
And we're also letting the readers of Page 2 make the arguments for why a certain team should either stay or go.
Last week, you booted the Los Angeles Xtreme off the island. Here's a look at the league after the sixth weekend:
 |
Las Vegas Outlaws (3-3)
Why they should go:
"We Hate Ye."
-- Cary Stanek, Far Hills, N.J.
Why they should stay:
I guess, um ... the Outlaws should stay, but there's no compelling reason for any team involved in this travesty to stay. I'm just going on a hunch. And completely scientific random methods.
-- Kyle Gauby, Fort Wayne, Ind.

San Francisco Demons (3-3)
Why they should go: They might have great uniforms, but their greatness ends there. A recent sin that the Demons committed: They tried to give their stadium the nickname, "The Hellhole." What? It might have been hell to line up against the feared 'Niners defenses of the 1980s (think Ronnie Lott, a real football stud). However, San Fran did little to conjure up images of Dante's Inferno against the Hitmen last week.
-- Chad Fuller, Lansing, Mich.
Why they should stay:
I would like to see the Demons stay. Two reasons: Exciting play, and great fans. Two tastes that go great together on ... UPN/TNN?
-- S. Rice, Humble, Texas

Orlando Rage (6-0)
Why they should go:
The Rage has got to go because they are too good. All the rest of the teams are starting to get jealous, and if this was the real "Survivor," I'm sure they would be gone because nobody likes to lose. Without the Rage there might be some competition.
-- Andy Schou, Dickinson, N.D.
Why they should stay:
The Rage have to stay. They've already clinched the division with four weeks left. Plus, the crowd booed last week when "He Hate Me" got up from being hurt. None of the respectful, pansy clapping that people usually do when someone gets up from his injury.
-- Gary Cahen, Orlando, Fla.

Los Angeles Xtreme (voted off after Week 5)
Why they're gone:
Glad to see that the Maniacs are gone. I know I spelled Maniacs wrong according to XFL dogma,
but c'mon, like I'm gonna like the name any better cause it has an X at the end of it. "Oh boy, they're crazy enough to spell they're name with an X, these guys play by their
own rules, wait, I mean rulz."
And what kind of name is
Maniacs anyway, is that supposed to inspire within me the desire to root for insane people?
Can't wait for the Louisville Lunatix or the Cleveland Incompetent to Stand Trial.
My vote this week is for the L.A. Xtreme to get booted, it starts with a "E" you frickin' morons.
-- Tom Self, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Birmingham Bolts (voted off after Week 4)
Why they're gone:
Is there any question why the Bolts should not stay? After losing 30-6 to Orlando, these guys might be able to contend with the Chargers or a Division II college team. But other than that they are worthless.
-- Jeff Kranz, Blue Springs Missouri

Memphis Maniax (voted off after Week 3)
Why they're gone:
I can't look at those uniforms any longer. I know they will continue to play regardless, but we need to vote them off to show that we, as a nation, do not approve of sea foam green as a color.
-- Rob Razzano, Cincinnati
|
|
 |
Chicago Enforcers (voted off after Week 2)
Why they're gone:
Say goodbye to the Enforcers. Anytime a team is No. 1 in the league in scoring, yet is still winless on the year, it deserves to be kicked off the island.
-- DP Buck, Stanford, Calif.
|
|
 |
N.Y./N.J. Hitmen (voted off after Week 1)
Why they're gone: If we want an inept, bumbling offense from New York that's not going to score any points, we'll take the Giants.
