"You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old." -George Burns

Age Is Just a Number

Interesting

With the life expectancy (at least in the United States) currently at 81 for women, and 76 for men, sometimes you just don't realize how far back our senior citizens were born. They were born in the 30s and 40s are still alive and kickin'. You hear it's a famous person's birthday and your first thought is, &quot;Oh, wait they're still alive?&quot; This is especially true for old athletes, who aren't seen on the playing field or in the announcer's box anymore.With the wear and tear and the physical strain athletes constantly put on their bodies while in their prime, it's difficult to know how long they'll be around as they get older. For example, the life expectancy for a professional football player is much lower than average, and a boxer's is even worse. But some of these athletes are still alive, despite their age and their physically taxing career choice.Cast your votes below for the old athletes you had no idea were still alive.

The Big Game

Super Bowl

The &nbsp;NFL has witnessed many exceptional quarterbacks throughout its history, however, success in football is not guaranteed solely by individual talent. Despite their phenomenal skills and jaw-dropping performances, several great QBs have never lifted the coveted Lombardi Trophy. This collection of outstanding athletes who, despite not having a Super Bowl title to their name, are still regarded as some of the best quarterbacks to grace the sport, sparks a ravenous debate that to be the best, you have to beat the best, and tragically, none of these esteemed athletes ever have.As fans explore this showcase of top-tier talent, they'll discover an array of players whose abilities transcended typical expectations. For instance, Dan Marino, a legendary Miami Dolphin known for his astonishing passing records, displayed remarkable skill throughout his tenure, but sadly never won a Super Bowl ring.
