Somebody might want to tell Doug Gottlieb not to roast teams before a matchup. It never ends well.

In all honesty, Gottlieb's probably not having a great week. His team, the Green Bay Phoenix, is in the middle of a horrific losing streak, and he's lowkey beefing with Adam Schefter. Plus, things just got worse.

Before playing Michigan Tech, he roasted the Division II school during critical comments about his team's opponents. "I don't really like the idea of 'Nobody U' coming in here," he said. "What do we learn playing a game where we win by 20?" Of course, those words predictably backfired. Not only did his team not win by 20, they Green Bay lost to the Huskies, 72-70, and their winning streak is now up to eight games. YIKES.
