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.”

Interest-free financing and more on the compact crossover.
Its wide bodywork and massive tires suggest so.
Another nice example of the last-gen T-Bird.
The legal back and forth continues.
It will help the automaker avoid tariffs.
Lincoln County has experienced severe storms, flooding, and landslides.

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 4x4 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.
