...future draft choices, he picked up Fullback Cookie Gilchrist, whose off-field antics got him in trouble with both the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos - although he led the A.F.L. in rushing (with 1,096 yds.) in 1963. For the waiver price of $100, Wilson obtained 270-lb. Earl Faison, a four-time all-A.F.L. defensive end who had played out his option with the San Diego Chargers.

Under current Florida law, said Faircloth, the information provided by all these gadgets is hearsay evidence and is therefore inadmissible. To restore electronic enforcement, Faircloth urged the state legislature to legalize such information by classifying it as prima-facie evidence.
