| Owner: Brian Stangl |
| Franchise History | |
|---|---|
| 1998 | The Skittle Burn joined the league. After the draft their owner claimed "I have the best team in the league", so after finishing 5-8 and tied for third place in the Western Division, and missed the playoffs by a tiebreaker, you could say the Skittle Burn had a disappointing season. |
| 1999 | With a record of 8-5, Skittle Burn finished third in the Eastern Division and just barely made the playoff by a tiebreaker. They then lost their first playoff game to the Wondrful Gazonks 86-66. The Skittle Burn franchise was then sold to Nugget the tortoise. Nugget then changed the team name to the Spam Bandits. Nugget saw the improvement of the team from a year ago, so he decided to keep Brian on as GM. |
| 2001 | Nugget and Brian are back again new and improved. They are now known as The Helper Monkeys. They finished with a record of 9-4, won the Eastern Division and got a first round bye. They won their first playoff game, but lost to The Undergarments in Fantasy Bowl VIII 85-70. |
