Pressers

Hey Guys!

I'm wondering about the location of the mid-week press conferences, specifically Brady's: in 2010, they were held at his locker; however, 2011-now I think they have all been at the podium. Who decides where those take place?

Thanks!

Those are decided by the team's PR director Stacey James, although Brady's mid-week ones are almost always held at the podium to prevent reporters from overcrowding the areas where players near his locker are trying to get changed, etc. Usually it's Belichick and Brady on Wednesdays, while on game days it can vary in the event another player has a big outing. Then at that point you'll see him potentially at the podium as well.
