For halftime entertainment at the Broncos-Cardinals exhibition game Thursday, local youth football players took the field. Some mascots were also involved, and Rocky of the Denver Nuggets stole the show.
Rocky plays to win as he delivers a hard shot on a ball carrier, then celebrates with a taunt that might be worthy of ejection in some leagues:
Don't do it, Rocky! Don't do it! http://t.co/Kkr7Ybhfmm pic.twitter.com/y2WYsdzV2n

Rocky earned some favorable responses to his tough-love approach:
The #Nuggets mascot is out here giving LIFE LESSONS

This is why Rocky, the Denver Nuggets' mascot, is the Mascot to Rule All Mascots http://t.co/eFmdYJWBEl

I'm thinking Rocky of the @nuggets doesn't believe in giving out participation trophies. http://t.co/oZo0OW8jyD
