(Chicago Sun Times) — Just about eight months ago, John Stone learned firsthand just how intense NFL rivalries can get — he was sacked from his job as a car salesman for wearing a Green Bay Packers tie to work smack dab in the heart of Bears country. What a difference an offseason can make. Shortly after the 35-year-old Stone lost his job at an Oak Lawn car dealership, he got a chance as a salesman at Chevrolet of Homewood, 18033 S. Halsted St. Since then he’s brought in customers from as far away as Milwaukee. And four times he’s been named salesman of the month — an honor that goes to the associate who sells the most cars in a month.
