There’s no way it was unscripted.

Russell Wilson and girlfriend Ciara were invited on stage during the Taylor Swift concert Saturday night. Not only that, the two wore matching outfits.

It all leads back to ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ Radio show host Don O’Neill’s theory that Wilson is focusing more on himself and working toward his future elsewhere.

But the stunt on Saturday begs the question: Is Russell Wilson 100 percent focused on football right now?

Once Friday rolls around and the Seattle Seahawks step on to the field for their first preseason game, ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ Radio’s Ron Upshaw doesn’t want to hear any more about Wilson doing anything but playing football and charity work.

“After Friday … I don’t want to see Russell Wilson in matching outfits,” Ron said. “I don’t want to see him in ‘Entourage.’ I don’t want to see him anywhere else but on the field and at Children’s Hospital.”

If the Seahawks have another slow start to their season, all fingers are going to point to Wilson, Don said. Ciara will be banned from CenturyLink Field.

But why not give Wilson the benefit of the doubt? Maybe he was at the Taylor Swift concert to get a feel for the stadium and a large crowd in preparation for the game .
