Haley lined his pockets on a rat?
 

I'm guessing I am very late to the party on this little fact but was reading his Wikipedia entry and found this bizarre little nugget:

In 2006, Haley filed a 1.7 million dollar lawsuit against McDonald's after his wife found a dead rat in her salad. The salad was purchased at a Southlake, Texas McDonald's restaurant while Haley was a member of the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff. His wife and their live-in babysitter began to eat before noticing the rat, and were said to have become violently ill afterward. The rat was described as a "juvenile roof rat" that was 6 inches long laying dead on its back with its mouth open. Scott Casterline, a spokesman for the Haley family told the paper. "We were forced to file a lawsuit. It was just too much pain to handle.".[16] "The Haleys filed a lawsuit for $1.7 million in damages, but the case was settled shortly before it went to trial." The case was settled out of court for a confidential sum.[17]

How in the **** does the Mcdonalds worker not notice a six inch rat in the ****ing salad?

Suing as a result of having "too much pain to handle" sets a precedent for a lawsuit against the Chiefs.

And given their salads aren't that big how do you start eating and not notice a 6 inch rat in your damn salad?

Thought it was croutons

Isn't that the truth. At least the football gods gave us a joke of a schedule last year as a kind gesture for the pain.

He distracted her with the rat while he fingered the hostess

WTF can't I find a rat in my salad???

i thought this story wasn't true.....this came up in 2009

I couldn't imagine this slipped the boards attention but too good for me not to bring it back up.

The real question is did Shanahan get royalty cuts on the settlement?

LMAO

I don't see why he's upset. McDonalds didn't even charge him extra for the rat.

I started a thread about this last year. After that I quit making threads. If it is news to me than I just assume it has or will be posted on here by someone else.

And not to mention, that rat is probably no where near the worst thing his wife has put in her mouth.
