Sean Payton Gives Hilarious Play-by-Play of Being Heckled at Whole Foods
It may come as a shock to some that NFL coaches have to go to the grocery store, just like the rest of us.
The only difference is that the coaches have to deal with heckling when deciding between turkey and ham cold cuts. Saints head coach Sean Payton shared his recent experience at a Whole Foods meat counter, and it's...well, unfamiliar to your average layperson.

That is about the most vitriol one will encounter at a Whole Foods. Some friendly banter and a nice salad for the night.
The hilarious part about this is that Payton illustrates how no matter where he goes, fans are always going to have something to say to him.
Sean Payton on @WWLAMFM just said at Whole Foods today, the guy at the meat market asked him why he went for the 2-point conversion.

Payton’s response: “Your steaks don’t look too good, worry about your meat.”
I don’t care who ya are, that’s funny right there.
He can listen to criticism of his decisions on the radio in his car, only to go inside for a quick grocery run and have his food held hostage until he explains why he went for a two-point conversion. And, in true football coach fashion, he gave a proper explanation.
Payton will have to be careful about where he shops if the Saints suffer an early postseason exit. He may not be able to buy dinner.
Freakin' Whole Foods, indeed.
