The Most DYSFUNCTIONAL Start to a Season in NFL HISTORY | 1971 Giants

Imagine your starting quarterback quitting the team right before kickoff, and then, imagine the backup quarterback doing the same thing. To start off the 1971 NFL season, prior to the New York Giants' first game, starting quarterback Fran Tarkenton quit the team less than 24 hours before kickoff. And if that wasn't bad enough, prior to the second game six days later, the new starting quarterback, Dick Shiner, also quit the team. This is the story behind the bizarre drama of the 1971 Giants, who might hold the dubious honor of having the most dysfunctional start to a season ever OFFICIAL JAGUARGATOR9 MERCHANDISE: https://jg9shop.com/ New listings every week!
