Roger Goodell is unwelcome at Jonathan Vilma’s barbeque joint

There are times when I wonder if the discord between the NFL and the New Orleans Saints could have been solved with a nice long lunch, a plate of po'-boys, and a couple of beignets each for everyone.
Of course, with Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma suing NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for defamation after Goodell's very public statements regarding the reasoning behind the suspensions of Vilma and several current and former members of the Saints organization, that's most likely not going to happen.
And it's really not going to happen at Brother Jimmy's BBQ in Miami, which is co-owned by Vilma, with Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams and Carolina Panthers linebacker Jon Beason on board as well. All three players are University of Miami alums, and Williams is also facing a six-game suspension to start the 2012 after failing two NFL-mandated drug tests.

The sign above, posted in the front window of Brother Jimmy's, can also be found along the front of the restaurant and inside the dining room. USA Today confirmed with a restaurant employee that the signs are indeed all over the joint.
There's no word on who was behind this, but one suspects that Vilma is the man behind this mandate. He's maintained his innocence in the Saints bounty scandal all along, and he's fired enough shots along Goodell's bow to make this seem like something that would come to his mind.

Andreas Lijla says he’s out 4 months, as Flyers lose another defenseman

Brother, can you spare the Philadelphia Flyers a defenseman?
The Flyers blueline took another hit on Sunday as it was reported in Swedish newspaper Helsinborgs Dagblad that Andreas Lilja will miss four months after undergoing hip surgery.
If you're counting at home that's Lilja (hip), Andrej Meszaros (Achilles) and Chris Pronger (concussion), who the Flyers will be without for some period of time (or likely all in Pronger's case) during the 2012-13 season.
Here's what Lilja told the paper, via translation by Matias Strozyk:
"I've had problems for a couple of years but usually the pain eased over summer. Not this year, so I needed surgery."
...
"Now I have a new hip and the difference will be big when I return. Not least mentally, since I can now move without pain."
...
"Missing the first two months won't matter much. Now I will be alert and pain-free once the fun starts."
Lilja also said that this surgery may have extended his career "five seasons". The 37-year old, who has played 46, 52 and 20 games, respectively, over the past three seasons, is in the final year of his contract.
Flyers GM Paul Holmgren was unavailable for comment, according to CSN Philly's Tim Panaccio.
With three missing defensemen, it opens the door for newly-signed Marc-Andre Bourdon and fellow youngster Erik Gustafsson to fill roles in the back. If the Flyers needed to make a move after the Meszaros news, as Broad Street Hockey pointed out, how desperate should they be now that their depth has taken a hit?
UPDATE: Holmgren text Panaccio, "He did have surgery [and] should be back late October or early November." Now, will there even be hockey in October or November?
