Gamble lifts Shiner to Falcons top spot in midweek chatter
Falcons quarterback Dick Shiner, filling in for the injured Bob Berry, claims he would still be a Giant if he had not walked out of camp last August. He says Giants coach Alex Webster favored waivers to force a trade, then moved to trade him to Atlanta where he now leads in wins.
