That takes the cake. As far as I'm concerned this quote backs Belichick's story 100%. The violation of the rule was the use of a camera versus the use of a pen and pencil. Another NFL team could have reams and reams of other teams defensive calls written down, and they are no less "cheaters" than the Patriots.

Titans head coach Jeff Fisher was emphatic when asked if he believed the Patriots were being unfairly singled out.
“I don’t think they’ve been unfairly singled out,” he said. “They violated a serious, competitive rule and they were penalized for it and we’ve moved on.”
He didn’t buy a followup question suggesting that “everyone does it.”
“See, not everybody does it,” he said. “That’s the misunderstanding. When you say everybody does it, not everybody is recording. There’s not a bylaw against sitting up in a press box and taking notes with a binoculars as fast as you can. But there is a bylaw as far as videotaping signals and that is the issue. We just have to be very careful when we say everyone does it. To my knowledge, this is the only team that videotaped coaches’ signals.”
