The enormous bird

An eagle had just flown into the den of the Aikman's house in Russellville. Rock was there with several members of his extended family, including his Uncle Jim, who was in the middle of an NFL game as a linebacker. In fact, Jim had just run up the stairs in pursuit of the opposing quarterback when the enormous bird flew in.

It had typical moose-like antlers common to bald eagles, one of which Rock took hold of to begin his attempt to extract it. The eagle struggled mightily to free itself, but Rock managed to avoid its sharp claws as he carried it toward the back door.
