It's great to be Jay Z. He's rich. He's sold millions and millions of albums. He's married to Beyoncé. And when it comes time for him to draft his fantasy football team, he gets to call on fantasy football gurus like ESPN's Matthew Berry to help him out.

Last night, Berry made an appearance on Keith Olbermann's Olbermann show and talked about the time that Jay Z invited him to his "GUTS" fantasy football league draft to help him pick players. Jay himself ended up not being able to make it to the draft. But Berry still got the chance to call Jay on the phone during the draft to talk about, er, argue about who was going to end up on Jay's team.

Watch the video above to hear Berry explain what the experience of filling out a fantasy roster with Jay Z was like. It sounds like Jay really gets into it—and doesn't like the idea of drafting backup tight ends.
