You've got to hand it to Patriots head of public relations Stacey James, who is often in the unkind position of acting as the firewall between Bill Belichick and the media. To his credit, James has managed to maintain a wry sense of humor. When a Patriots flight was struck by lightning in 2006, it was James who dryly quipped that if the plane had crashed, "It would have been hard from our perspective to spin that positively."
On Thursday, with James juggling the NFL/Robert Kraft/Tom Brady drama, reporters began needling him about whether or not Brady was going to finally speak to the media. When Brady didn't, it led one reporter to ask sarcastically whether the Patriots' public relations department would transcribe and distribute quotes from Brady's non-interview. James, as is his style, said yes and obliged, handing the reporter a blank sheet of paper.
