Risen from the Dead

Have you ever meet one of those people that outstays their welcome? Most common people collect the hints and will vanish, but in professional sports, this is not the case. 

Veteran quarterback, Brett Farve instantly comes to mind. Farve has played quarterback

 in the NFL for 17 seasons and is possibly considering another season after retiring twice already. Brett Farve has established his name atop the NFL record book in many categories, career touchdowns, career passing yards, career completions, career attempts, most interceptions thrown and most consecutive NFL starts. After evaluating all the accomplishments of Farve, why does he think he needs to continue to prove himself, when it was obvious to many viewers that his play proved costly for the New York Jets this past season. Why would a team want to take a chance on a has-been that is past his prime?

Normally the lasting of NFL stars, are not labeled as overstaying their welcome. I do believe that Farve is only one year older than a quarter that played in the Super Bowl last season, who was that signal caller?
