It’s a great time to be a sports fan in America: Baseball is back, March Madness is wrapping up, and the NHL and NBA playoffs are just around the corner. The NFL draft is also coming up in April, but the league is without one of its most famous quarterbacks: Tom Brady. He is the latest in a long line of athletes who potentially played one season too many. UNC History Professor Matthew Andrews came up with a list of athletes who stayed too long for a One Day University lecture, and he shares that list (plus some extra picks) with host Steven Schragis.
