Not easy work

There are many things people claim are among the most difficult tasks in sports.

Saving a penalty kick in soccer or hitting a baseball off someone like former Boston Red Sox’ ace Pedro Martinez in his prime would likely be common answers. Maybe, perhaps, blocking someone like Houston Texans’ pass rusher J.J. Watt would be another popular pick.

Saints coach Sean Payton, however, has a different submission. And there’s a good chance you’ve never thought about what he considers to be one of the more difficult things to do in all of sports.

“I would say (it’s) probably one of the more challenging things to do in sport, is to be a gunner against a double team,” Payton said.
