MINNEAPOLIS -- There will never be another Jim Henderson in New Orleans.
He was the last of a dying breed, a holdover from a previous generation of media giants.
Jim Henderson belongs on the Mount Rushmore of New Orleans sports media figures, along with Buddy Diliberto, Peter Finney and Hap Glaudi. (Bob Roesler and Jerry Romig also deserve spots on that mountain.)
His place in New Orleans sports history is preserved. As the sports director at WWL-TV for almost four decades, he presided over a Goliath the likes of which will never be seen in today's stratified media landscape.
