It's been 35 years since the original Baywatch TV series premiered on NBC in the 1989-1990 season. One year later, it was syndicated and became one of the most popular TV shows on the planet. The show's original cast included David Hasselhoff, who stayed with the series through its entire run. During that time, he was joined by other actors, including (but not limited to) Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul, and Jason Simmon. At the time, Simmons, who is gay, was in the closet.

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

You sign players to form a squad, and when one does well, you sell them on and then reinvest the money in a replacement — hopefully with some cash left over to bolster other positions.
