Winter has settled in across the United States, at least for those that live in places that actually have winters. And the very first blizzard is bearing down on the New England area, which means travel woes for quite a few residents. This is especially true of those that are new to the area and maybe haven’t ever driven in snow or ice, as is the case with some New England Patriots players. So one of the team’s wide receivers, Gunner Olszewski, has a bit of advice for them – buy a Chevy.
“If you have a Chevy, you’re good. You going to make it practice,” Olszewski said during an afternoon video conference, according to Mass Live. “It’s them guys driving Fords and stuff that I worry about. That’s the only advice I give: Get a Chevy.”
It’s clear that Olszewski is a Chevy guy, so we get it. We’d obviously be telling our colleagues the opposite, as any true truck brand fanboy would. But what makes this comment even funnier is the fact that Olszewski is originally from Alvin, Texas, which isn’t exactly known for its annual snow totals. However, he did spend four years at Bemidji State in Minnesota, so we suppose he knows how to drive in the slick stuff.
Thankfully, some other Patriots players gave safety Adrian Phillips, who also grew up in Texas, some actual advice that might help him navigate the major storm. “They gave me some tips, they gave me a shovel and stuff to help me out, they told me about the sandbags and salt bags,” Phillips said. “So I’ve just got to do what I’ve got to do, if I’ve got to get out there and shovel I’m going to do it, just make sure my car is warmed up before I go.”

What’s even funnier is that Mr Olszewski’s team is horrible. Here’s my hot take for him. If you want to be in the playoffs this year, and what appears to be many more bleak years in NE football wise, then go to another team.
Yeah, this from a guy who”make it practice” can’t even talk right. His knowledge and intelligence comes into play and should not be taken seriously as to making a major purchase as a new chevy JUNK? REALLY? Thanks ,but no, I’ll just stick to my tried and true Ford F-150 and F250 trucks.
Get a Chevy Crew Cab that’s assembled in Mexico.
Sorry Mr. Football player but my 17 year old F150 4×4 with limited slip has done well for me. But I do suggest a good set of tires…😆
Does ANYONE give 2 shakes of a rats rear end what an NFL player says?
He’ll most likely be found frozen stiff in the cab of his rusted out Chevy that’s stuck in a snow drift.
Lee, apparently your comment answers your own question.
Obviously, the NFL’s concussion protocol is not working as well as desired.
Tell that to all the Chevy owners that I pulled out of the snow ❄️❄️❄️❄️
I guess that’s why 80% of Police Organizations use the FORD as their primary transportation provider!
@Bob
Sales records are true.
Viewership may be accurate.
We only care about what we experience. So it sounds like you haven’t lived as a Black man. As Ford vs Chevy goes, Ford always wins even over the top selling cars.
Ford the best never rest.
Ford is a good truck But GM is king because of the silverado his brother the GMC sierra and colorado if you put sales combined the sell More than ford and also what difference does it make where the truck is assembled that’s what is wrong with this country by thinking that only america is smart and everyone else is dumb .. so you mean to tell me that you Rather have brain surgery by a dumb american doctor that you don’t know of.. than honest, smart highly educated mexican.. case and point don’t judge a book by his cover cause you never know who’s around the corner that will save your life..

Just how stupid do these has been NFL think we are? It not what you drive in the snow, it’s how you drive. My 15 year old f 150 2wd has never left me stranded. Put a little snow on the back and I’m good to go.
Go by any construction site ,municipalities police public works or fire dept at anytime of the year you will see overwhelmingFord trucks,SUV’s or cars, i have plowed snow commercially
For 30+ yrs had all 250 and 350’s other than expected repairs which were minimal considering conditions, current truck F250 with 130 000 miles,the key is pm and good fuel ,hiring older drivers helps to !
Well, he may be on to something. Chevy has made available on their trucks in the northern climates a heated rear bumper so the owner’s hands won’t get frostbite when they have to push their trucks in the snow.
Chevy sucks!!
FORD IS KING 43 YEARS AND COUNTING!
You NFL SOB. KNOCK THE ONLY TRUCK THAT HAS BEEN FIRST FOR OVER 50 YEARS! IDIOT
That’s why the presidential motorcade and U.S. military drive GM not a ford in sight….
That my friend is called bidding… and where your product priorities are…
The presidential motorcade actually used a ford F350 Super Duty six door conversion truck in 2018 at the tail end not sure if still used now.
And our Military vehicles are GM, due to reliability. Sure the cheapest built truck will be the most purchased on the market. Who doesn’t like a cheap new vehicle? Ford’s still do not have the horsepower or torque of a Chevy or a dodge. Chevy has unleaded fuel engines more powerful than a Ford’s Diesel. Make sense? Officers drive Ford’s because they’re cheaper. Y’all need some Google in your live bashing Chevy’s because you’re a fanboy of a cheap brand. Your “Great Value” to my “Mrs. Bairds.”
Also, any 4×4 vehicle our officers USE are Chevy Suburban or Chevy Tahoe, by the way.
