Are there any news about this two young guys?

Are they injured? I read that Mayo was at the gold tournament, but Brandon?

Meriweather has a partially torn MCL and Mayo has bone spurs in his ankle. Next question.

nothing like that has been announced who's your source? they are obviously injured, hopefully not bad, but its concerning that they brought mcgowan in now that we know merriweather is hurt

I wasn't sure if he knew something or not but if he does, he's not going to give you his source - letekro, I would be curious, though, if this is something you know or if you were being sarcastic about the lack of information the Patriots give out.

If true, MCLs are a short term thing usually requiring no surgery. Brady tore his MCL in addition to the ACL and he had to wait about 6 weeks for the MCL to heal before having the ACL repaired. I don't know anything about bone spurs.

yea, my question would also be if hes being legit, or if he was being ironic...

We need a source. We havent seen anything about those two anywhere.

You just don't understand the meaning of sarcasm do you?

Do you know anything about this team and how they handle injuries? Nothing is obvious.

We do, but of course sarcasm isn't simply saying the opposite of what you mean. That isn't sarcasm.

Sarcasm means "tearing of flesh" and is an insult aimed at someone, not a commentary on a state of affairs. Sarcasm needs to have a victim of the ridicule or derision.

What you are thinking of is irony, which is using words to convey the exact opposite meaning of what you are actually saying.

But with irony, the key is the you HAVE TO CONVEY the meaning that is the opposite of the words you are using. If a person, certainly in more than one person, reads the statement and doesn't realize it was supposed to be irony then it wasn't. Same with sarcasm. The onus in on the speaker (poster) to convey the meaning, not on the reader.

Don't take my word for it, check a dictionary.
