Morgan Ensberg in trouble with the law

[BronxBomberz]

Here's the sign that Mike Mussina put on his locker for all to see:

1-year contract: $1.75 million

White Range Rover: $75,000

$50 cell phone ticket in Harlem: priceless

-Morgan Ensberg

Ensberg, in his defense, said he had no idea you can't use cell phones while driving in New York. The copper didn't buy it. He handed Ensberg a ticket for $50. But there's no points on his license, Ensberg happily reported.

Here's how it went down:

Ensberg said he was talking on the phone with his brother about the classes he's taking at UCLA at about 10:45 last night. He drove over Macombs Dam Bridge and through Harlem to get to the FDR. But before he got there the siren came up behind him.

"I said I played for the Yankees, but I don't think he heard it," Ensberg said. "I wasn't trying to finagle my way out of it. I was just trying to explain why I didn't know."

Not that it mattered.

"Two days here and I already have a story for my kids," he said.

On the Yankees beat

Lock him up.

[nyjunc]

Tell him to be careful driving over Macomb's Dam Bridge that late at night.

[General]

Fo sho. Or at any point, for that matter.


You know that guy who sells ice cold water and socks?

[HollywoodLeo]

Good thing we got rid of that hoodlum.

Some people never learn. Its a shame, with his talent.
