Lyrics

I'd like to tell you all a little story of one man's brilliance and his glory
he knows it all and makes sure we know it, too
He's a Windy City boy, born in Illinois
and he wouldn't want it any other way

He knew the day the Berlin Wall would fall, he's won 4 times at Power Ball
He picked the winner of the last 48 Super Bowls
He knew Sully would land that plane and Weiner would come again
and the butterfly ballot had an inherent design flaw

Wilbon was right
Tony, you're crazy
and Mike sold all his Enron stock at record highs
On Oscar night, he finally picked Scorcese
Tony was wrong and we all know Wilbon was right

He thought the Pope would be an Argentine, Robert Downey would stay clean this time
Bruce Willis was dead the whole Sixth Sense
Mantei's girlfriend was a hoax, the Natinals were gonna choke
and Tom Cruise would prove to be insane

Wilbon was right
Tony, you're crazy
And he told Brownie those levees would never hold
But sometimes it's like his memory's hazy
'cause even when he's wrong, Wilbon says he's not surprised

Tony was wrong and Wilbon was right (Wilbon was right!)
Tony was wrong and Wilbon was right (Wilbon was right!)
Tony was wrong and Wilbon was right (Wilbon was right!)

A parody of Billy Joel, "You May Be Right"

    If Wilbon is right with Pats +20 this week then this will have to be resubmitted with updated lyrics. If he's wrong then "Wilbon's a dope".

    This one has the rare distinction of being mentioned on the show by Gary & TK but never actually being played on air. It was probably just too long. They used to cap these at 45-60 seconds

    This is one of my favorites! Wilbon is always saying how he called it! That plus name-dropping everyone he knows in sports. "Tony, I just talked to Dwyane Wade this morning..." Still, I love Wilbon and all of his quirks. I love the line about the Berlin Wall!

    Great! You know how Tony calls Ringo "the luckiest man ever?" I think it's Wilbon.
