Cowboys assistant suing McDonald's
Files $1.7M suit for finding a dead rat in salad in June

DALLAS (AP) -- Dallas Cowboys passing game coordinator Todd Haley is suing a suburban McDonald's after claiming his wife and their family's au pair found a dead rat in their salad.

The lawsuit filed Thursday in state district court seeks $1.7 million in damages, The Dallas Morning News reported on its Web site.

In addition to Haley, who got in a well-publicized shouting match with Terrell Owens earlier this month, the suit was also filed on behalf of his wife Christine and the family's live-in babysitter, Kathryn Kelley.

The dead rodent, believed to be a juvenile roof rat, was about 6 inches long and was found on its back with its mouth opened, Scott Casterline, a spokesman for the family, told The Associated Press.

He said the women didn't find the rat until taking the salad home to eat, and that a manager from the McDonald's "didn't offer any comfort" after driving to their house to see the rodent. The suit was filed after the restaurant didn't follow through on promises "to make things right," he said.

"The family needs closure," Casterline told The Associated Press. "It came to a point where you have to draw a line."

A message left for McDonald's Corp. spokesman Walt Riker on Thursday evening was not immediately returned. Ken Lobato, owner-operator of the McDonald's in Southlake, told the newspaper that he hadn't seen the suit and couldn't respond.

"Nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our customers," he said. "We maintain the strictest quality standards. We take these matters seriously and are conducting a full investigation to get all the facts.

"In my years as an owner-operator, I've never seen anything like this."

According to the lawsuit, Christine Haley and Kelley had eaten part of the salad purchased June 5 before the dead rodent was uncovered.

The women became violently ill and endured long-lasting physical injuries, the lawsuit said. Chritine Haley, who was nursing, states she had to feed her baby with formula.

In the Cowboys' loss against Philadelphia on Oct. 8, Owens was seen screaming at Haley on the sideline. Owens later said his relationship with Haley was ruined, but then said after his three-touchdown game against the Texans on Oct. 15 that there was mutual respect between the two.

How can they sue them? I don't think he is that low to put a rat in his own food but really how can you prove the origin of the rat? And they became violently ill because of the rat? Please, they are chicks, what do you expect a chick to do. Freaking out and saying oh my god isn't the same as getting "ill".

I do like them better now that they are all white meat, less of that grissle stuff that used to be in them, but the star of the show is the crispy golden outside part. I don't know how they make that batter stuff they cook them in but's it's amazing.

Maybe the rat was carrying the Bubonic Plague?

I want to hear more about this nanny. I just keep picturing Fran Drescher in her high pitched voice screaming "Oh my God, there is a rat in my salad!"

Some friends of mine have a Brazilian au pair. They always hide her when I'm at their house, so I've never seen her in person, but she was included in their Christmas picture, and let's just say that I had no idea that Brazilian swimsuit models moonlighted as au pairs.

I had a friend who was the assistant manager of the Mcdonalds back in the 90's. One night I was in his office as he was going over timesheets/payroll. It was approaching closing time and some jackass was screaming over the drive thru, asking for the manager. My buddy walked over to the mic and asked how he could help him. This customer ranted and raved about how he had ordered a burger and specifically told them to hold the onions. Of course being that late of night, there were only two people there. My friend told the angry customer to pull forward and he would personally take care of it. As the customer pulled forward, my friend prepared another meal. I dont know what grossed me out more, the snot on the burger mixed in with the special sauce or the way they made sure that the salt stuck to the fries. The customer seemed happy enough to take a bite of the burger to make sure it met his standards.

I havent eaten at a Mcdonalds since and very leary about ANY fast food restaurant.

If you've eaten out in public more than 100 times in your life, then I'm sure you're bound to of eaten a butt nugget or a pube or two. It's a sad thing in life you just have to except. It's kind of like when I think about hot chicks taking a shit. I know it happens, but I try not to think about it.
