Who Had the Worst Week?

Jeremy Story

May 10

  • PR agencies grew an anemic 3% in 2023, slightly less than the rate of inflation (3.4%) and far less than the growth rates in 2022 (15%) and 2021 (19%).
  • The City of Denver has committed up to $100,000 to investigate allegations that Denver Fire Chief Desmond Fulton violating city law by amassing "more than 400 hours of comp or flex time in a recent three-year period by attending memorial services for firefighters, retirement parties for his employees and going to a candlelight vigil for victims of a 2022 mass shooting." The investigation will also review other firefighters' comp time activities.
  • The Kendrick Lamar-Drake rapper beef was fun, but things took an ugly turn when a security guard was seriously wounded in a shooting outside Drake's mansion in Toronto.
  • Speaking of celebrity feuds, who saw Jason Kelce-Secretariat coming?
  • A week ago, fans were talking about a potential dynasty. Today, the reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets look lost and at risk of being swept out of the playoffs. The cherry on top: Jamal Murray, the team's second-best player, was just fined $100,000 for throwing objects on the floor during play in a fit of frustration.
  • An MSC cruise ship docked in Brooklyn only to discover that it had the carcass of an endangered, 44-foot sei whale on its bow.
  • The Miss USA organization is reeling after both its current Miss USA and Miss Teem USA representatives abruptly resigned this week, citing mental health and values misalignment concerns, respectively.
  • Former Denver Bronco Lorne Sam's dream of owning a successful pub in England died amid accusations of racism and xenophobia.
  • Singer Katy Perry did not attend this week's Met Gala, but AI images of her in an elaborate dress that circulated online fooled even her mother.
  • Southwest Airlines says it is seriously considering assigning seats in part due to preboarding lines that many believe are full of people faking injuries or other special needs that are frustrating its frequent flyers. There is even a term – "Jetway Jesus" – that describes flyers who need to be wheeled onto planes but exit them on foot seemingly without any difficulty.
  • As if Boeing doesn't have enough problems, the FAA is now investigating whether the company falsified inspection reports for its 787 aircraft.
  • The Colorado Rockies are historically bad. We're well into May, and the team is on pace to lose 124 games this year, which would beat its previous record of 103 losses (set last year).
  • If you love Sriracha, it could be a long summer.
  • Former longtime CBS4 reporter Rick Sallinger passed away. He retired in December after a 30-year career in journalism.

Who won the week?

  • The Denver Post reporter Saja Hindi announced she has left the paper. She said she is excited for the "next chapter" and will share what that is soon.
  • The Denver Nuggets may be collapsing, but star center Nikola Jokic won his third NBA MVP award this week.
  • The Mother Cabrini shrine on Lookout Mountain has seen an influx of visitors after the movie "Cabrini" documenting her life was released this spring.
