How did Cuervo become associated with tequila?

Cuervo 0:01
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
Cuervo 0:29
Cuervo. Cuervo.

It's time for Against the Spread! And it's brought to you by our friends at DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Jess, what do we got?

What are the betting odds for UConn vs. UCLA?

Jessica 1:12
I'm taking the UConn Huskies in the Final Four against UCLA, minus 8.5. I think UConn's offense is too multifaceted for UCLA to handle. I think they win that game easily.

I'm gonna head to the ice Where the Panthers are taking on the Toronto Maple Leafs in Toronto. Now, Toronto's coming in winning two straight. The Panthers are coming in losing two straight. Teams have played against each other twice this year. Panthers have beat the Maple Leafs both times that they've faced each other. But again, one is coming in hot, one is coming in cold. Is this the game where the Maple Leafs take down the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers? Maybe. I don't know, but I'm going to take the Panthers plus one and a half because one and a half goals is a lot in hockey. So I'm not saying the Panthers are going to win or lose, but I think they're going to cover against the Sprint.
Dan Le Batard 2:15
Thank you for doing that, guys. We also have, I believe, that we're closing in on an interview with Jason Mason, the runner who was behind our beloved Taylor in that race. We also have my guy, Jason Goff, who's a podcast host at The Ringer. He joined me last night in going out with Charlie and Charlie's high school friends. So I'm going to bring Jason in at some point to tell all the embarrassing stories from Charlie's high school experience. But I guess Jason could probably come in, too, for this topic. Jason's a big basketball guy. Works for the Bulls pre- and post-game show, I believe.
Amin Elhassan 2:50
Yeah, him and Kendall Gill.
Dan Le Batard 2:51
Yep. But this topic, Amin got beef with our coverage or our opinions on John Morant from yesterday, right?

Why was Taylor Jenkins fired late in the NBA season?

Amin Elhassan 3:02
Yeah, man. You guys really dropped the ball. You're talking about why Taylor Jenkins was fired this late in the season. By the way, I don't think we have a definitive answer for that because it's kind of ridiculous. I don't know if you guys... I can't remember if you guys mentioned this. His entire staff had gotten fired prior to this season, which in the NBA is the ultimate... We said that. Get your black ass up out of here, right? Even though his name is Jenkins, he's white. But number two, you guys talk about the offense. You can't piss off the best player. It wasn't his offense. It wasn't his offense. The offense was devised by, get this... The two new assistants, one of whom is now the head coach, and the other one is fired. And I'm just like, wait a second, hold on.
Amin Elhassan 3:43
You're going to take my staff away from me. You're going to hire somebody else that I didn't have a say in. Then you're going to tell these somebody else's to devise the offense, even though our offense was okay last year, right? And then when the star player doesn't like it, you're going to use that as an excuse to get rid of me. This is, ladies and gentlemen, not like Taylor Jenkins misstepping or whatever. This is classic textbook. We're getting you up out of here.
Dan Le Batard 4:12
So who wanted him up out of there? You're saying.
Amin Elhassan 4:16
The whiz kid Wall Street front office that thinks that, hey, man, let me give this head coaching job to this man from Finland who's never been in an NBA capacity in any form or fashion prior to this season when we brought him here from his illustrious record of winning the Euro Cup and the Basketball Champions League and every other... league over there that's not really one of the heralded ones that come. Let me put it this way. This guy isn't David Blatt. And I'm not trying to knock him. He might be the best coach of all time one day. I don't know. I don't know because his resume is super thin. He's not David Blatt. David Blatt came here. This dude won Euroleagues. This dude coached like the biggest clubs in Europe.
