Colorado Rockies president found dead

Police say that Colorado Rockies President, Keli McGregor was found dead Tuesday morning in his hotel room in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The cause of the death is still unknown.  CNN.com reports that police received a call shortly after nine a.m. saying that a man had been found unconscious in his room at the Grand America Hotel.  Police say medics tried reviving him but were unsuccessful.

McGregor, who had been the Colorado Rockies President since October 2001, was 48 years old.  An online biography says that McGregor had been working with the Rockies since October 1993 as a senior director of operations.  In 1996, he was promoted to senior vice president, and in 1998 became the executive vice president.  

Prior to joining the Rockies, McGregor was an All-American tight end at Colorado State University and was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 1985 NFL Draft.  He also coached at the University of Florida for two years in 1988 and 1989.  

McGregor leaves behind his wife and four children.

McNabb encouraging Washington Redskins to sign Terrell Owens

After recently being traded by the Philadelphia Eagles to division rival the Washington Redskins, former SU quarterback Donovan McNabb is reportedly encouraging his new team to sign free agent wide receiver, Terrell Owens.  ESPN.com reports that McNabb has talked to the team's coaching staff about signing Owens, despite the tumultuous past that McNabb and Owens share.

Redskins new head coach, Mike Shanahan says that at this time, the Redskins are not actively pursuing Owens.  Even though the Redskins are interested in improving the wide receiver corps, the team reportedly prefer to avoid bringing Owens into the locker room if there is another option.  

Owens spent the past season as a member of the Buffalo Bills and posted the worst numbers in his career since becoming a starter.  As teammates with the Philadelphia Eagles, McNabb and Owens enjoyed success on the field as the Eagles went 13-3 in 2004 and earned a trip to the Super Bowl.  However, they had a well-publicized war-of-words where Owens criticized McNabb for not throwing him the ball when he should have and for "choking" in the Super Bowl which led to locker room altercations and ultimately Owens being released from the Eagles the following season.  

McNabb and Owens reportedly discussed the possibility of rejoining as teammates recently in Los Angeles.  A source close to McNabb reportedly told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio had talked about reuniting while filming an episode of "Pros vs. Joes" while on the same basketball team together.

Gary LaTray to appear in federal court

The Post Standard reports Gary LaTray scheduled to be back in court again today at 2 p.m. where he will face the charge of violating the conditions of his supervised release from prison.  LaTray left town last May and is suspected of committing five robberies in four different states.  Prior to his trial, he was being held at the Onondaga County Correctional Facility in Jamesville.  

LaTray has already served more than 17 years after robbing an armored-car depot in 1989 in DeWitt.  After being out of jail for less than three years, he stopped showing up to work at the Franciscan Collaborative Ministries on the North Side and left town.

U.S. District Court Judge Neal McCurn will give the ruling in LaTray's case on the charge of failing to report to his probation officer.  LaTray waved his right to a preliminary hearing and a bail hearing in March.  If convicted, LaTray could face up to three years in prison.  This hearing is only addressing the federal charges.  Investigations into the five robberies that LaTray is suspected in are still ongoing.
