He quit the Giants hours before he was to start after Fran Tarkenton quit the team a few days earlier. When Tarkenton came back before the next game, which Shiner was to start, Shiner quit because he knew the job would soon be given back to Tarkenton. Personally, I think the lifelong harassment played a factor. How many times do you think he asked his parents, "Richard....really? Not Bill or George or Frank?"
