Henderson: In N.O. we have too much to celebrate to stay down for long | wwltv.com New Orleans
But, as we put our Black and Gold and Purple and Gold attire back on the hangers in the last row of our closets, we bring our Purple, Green and Gold finery back to its yearly prominence. And the end of the football season mask of sadness that we wear will soon be replaced by the beginning of Carnival season mask of joy.
Elsewhere around the NFL, fans may be talking about reloading or replacing or re-organizing.
In New Orleans, we simply recover.
We sleep it off and re-charge. A long, cold winter still looms ahead in Green Bay where there is little else but the Packers to celebrate. In New Orleans, Spring is right around the corner in a city where there is too much to celebrate to linger too long in the sadness of the moment.
