One more off the Christmas list

This isn't the first time we've realized that Bill Belichick and Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher aren't exactly buddy-buddy, but Fisher made some comments today that seem like a shot at Belichick.

The longtime Titans coach addressed the media with other members of the NFL's Competition Committee today, and was asked if their needs to be a clarification of the rule Belichick was found to have broken by having a team employee videotape from the sidelines.

"No. those rules are very, very clear. There is no need to be more specific or clarify
any rules whatsoever as far as the bylaws are concerned," he said.

Belichick has maintained that it was his mis-interpretation of a gray area in the rule that led to New England's videotaping.

Fisher was also asked how he'd react if he learned that his opponent had recorded his walkthrough, as New England has been accused of doing to St. Louis before Super Bowl XXXVI.

I'm not going to answer that question because we're dealing with a hypothetical situation
related to an ongoing investigation right now," he said. "I think you could speculate what my
answer would be. But I'm not going to go into any detail."
