Worldwide Wes is Persona Non-Grata in Lucas Oil Stadium without a Ticket, and Security is on the Lookout For Him

Why is security on the lookout for basketball’s top power broker? It could be a number of things. Worldwide Wes is a Kentucky guy, so perhaps Rick Pitino doesn’t want him anywhere near his heavily-favored Cardinals. Wes is known to operate by a different set of rules – check out this nugget from John Canzano in the Oregonian last year:

"I once saw him walk around The Palace at Auburn Hills during a NBA Finals as if he owned the building. He didn’t even wear a credential. Wesley was so at ease, he went into the Pistons locker room at halftime. Later, a NBA security staffer approached him, and I watched to see if Wesley might get asked for identification. Nope. The security guard borrowed Chapstick."

There’s also the Nike-Oregon-Singler tie-in, so perhaps he’s there rooting on the Ducks and Kyle Singler’s younger brother.

I’ll update this post if any news emerges. [Image via Mark Blakenbaker]
