As the NBA nears the fourth month of its investigation into the Phoenix Suns and majority owner Robert Sarver, the team is working toward creating a confidential internal hotline in the coming weeks for employees to report complaints, team sources told ESPN.

On Monday, a Suns executive explained to colleagues that the reason for creating the internal hotline is because “no one actually uses the NBA hotline at all,” the sources told ESPN. (Other NBA teams also have internal hotlines.)

The Suns did not respond to a request for comment.

In 2018, in the wake of Sports Illustrated’s reported allegations of harassment and violence toward female employees inside the Dallas Mavericks organization, the NBA created a confidential hotline for team and league employees to voice concerns of improper conduct.

In ESPN’s November story, which outlined allegations of a sometimes toxic and hostile workplace during Sarver’s 17-year tenure in Phoenix, NBA spokesperson Mike Bass said the league had not “received a complaint of misconduct at the Suns organization through any of our processes, including our confidential workplace misconduct hotline or other correspondence.”

The NBA did not respond to a request for comment.

Employees were made aware of the NBA’s hotline in a February 2018 email from Suns team president and CEO Jason Rowley. It was noted in the email that the callers have the option to remain anonymous, but a disclaimer was included: “Note that if you make an anonymous complaint, someone could still guess your identity from the circumstances or other information you provide.”

In a ballpark of charitable winter activities, Cupid’s Undie Run is coming to town on February 19. The annual dip into the frigid Lake Michigan benefits 7,500+ Special Olympians who compete year-round in Chicago. While you won’t be dunking yourself into the lake like The Polar Plunge, Chicago’s other iconic winter activity, there’s an equally chilly challenge. The “brief” midwinter fun run has a little twist if the name didn’t give it away––runners are clad in bright and bold underwear for this Valentine’s Day week activity.

Putting the “fun” in fundraisers

Every February, thousands across the U.S. strip down to their skivvies and party, go for a mile-ish run, and party some more. Cupid’s Undie Run proceeds to go toward finding a cure for those affected by neurofibromatosis, a rare genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and affects 1 in every 3,000 births. 

The fundraising event donates 100% of the net proceeds to the Children’s Tumor Foundation, the world’s leader in neurofibromatosis research. Cupid’s is also partnered with Joe Boxer and Tito’s Handmade Vodka.

Party, run, and party some more

Cupid’s Undie Run is not limited to Chicago—the fun run series spans from coast to coast. Runners can show off their best undies from the warmer climates of Los Angeles and Phoenix to snowy Philadelphia and New York. You can also register as a virtual runner and run from anywhere in the world. Start a team, join a team, or run solo. Either way, you’re bound to make new friends!

Unlike bigger races that start in the morning, Cupid’s Undie Run starts at noon with drinking and dancing at Sluggers World Class Sports Bar in Wrigleyville. Get your heart rate going before you strip down, lace up, and head out at 2 p.m. to run about 1 mile. When you’re done, the party continues at Sluggers so you can warm up and celebrate that mad dash with more booze and dancing until 4 p.m. Registration for Chicago is open at $45 and increases to $50 on February 12.

How it started…

Cupid’s Fun Run had its start in 2010 when a group led by co-founders Brendan Hanrahan, Chad Leathers, and Bobby Gill ran through the chilly streets of D.C. to raise money for neurofibromatosis research. They ran in their undies to bare (almost) all in solidarity with those affected with neurofibromatosis, who can’t cover up their tumors. 

How it’s going…

Since then, Cupid’s Charity was created and became a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit, having raised over $21.7 million to date and bringing awareness of neurofibromatosis. The support, heart, and grit of 108,600 undie runners over 225 events across the country helped make this possible. Last year, Cupid’s raised over $3.5 million! Donations can be made in the name of a participant, a general donation, or a sponsorship.

Fire crews responded to a house fire in the 8200 block of South Cornell Avenue around 2 a.m. Tuesday.

An 81-year-old woman died in a house fire in Avalon Park early Tuesday after she tried to escape but collapsed near a door leading outside.

Fire crews found her on the kitchen floor of a home in the 8200 block of South Cornell Avenue, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said.

The woman had suffered severe burns and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where she died, police said. Her name has not yet been released.

A neighbor on East End Avenue first spotted the fire around 2 a.m. and called 911, Langford said. It’s unclear how long the fire was burning before then.

With temperatures in the single digits, crews encountered one frozen hydrant but were able to access other hydrants that were flowing freely, Langford said.

Crews quickly spotted the woman and removed her, he said. She was in cardiac arrest and had third-degree burns. It appeared that the woman had been burned in another room before collapsing in the kitchen, Langford said.

She lived by herself and had a son who lives out of town, Langford said.

The fire may have started in the basement, Langford said, but investigators were waiting for water to subside before investigating further.

The home had no smoke detectors, he said.

More than two weeks since the firing, here’s a timeline of how we got to this point:

Jan. 15: Titans director of player personnel Monti Ossenfort interviews.

Jan. 16: One day after the Bills’ first-round playoff win, assistant GM Joe Schoen interviews with the Bears.

Jan. 17: Colts assistant GM Ed Dodds interviews.

Jan. 18: Eliot Wolf, a Patriots executive and son of former Packers architect Ron Wolf, interviews for the job. His father praised him as ready for the job.

Jan. 19: Ran Carthon, the 49ers’ player personnel director, talks to the Bears about the vacancy. Dodds withdraws his name from consideration for the Bears job.

Jan. 20: Former Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie, who is now a Dolphins executive, meets with the Bears.

Jan. 21: Poles talks to the Bears for the first time, two days before his Chiefs defeat the Bills in the second round of the playoffs. The Giants hire Schoen to be their GM.

Jan. 24: The Bears interview two of the most qualified candidates in their search, Steelers vice president of football and business administration Omar Khan and Colts college scouting director Morocco Brown. Brown worked for the Bears as assistant pro personnel director from 2001-07.

Ayo continued his hot stretch of games on Monday night, having a huge part in the Bulls win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Ayo, who is a graduate of Morgan Park high school in Chicago and a former player at the University of Illinois; has been a fan favorite all season long because of his hometown roots and his play on the court. Dosunmu continued his impressive rookie campaign by making history against Oklahoma City.
