Cardale Jones won four trophies in his first three starts, but none of that is as impressive as getting "12 Gauge" printed on an official government document.

Bill Patmon, a state congressman/Clevelander representing Ohio House District 10, issued the following proclamation to Cardale "12 Gauge" Jones, whom Patmon calls a remarkable individual:

Cardale Jones! Cardale Jones! The Whole State of Ohio! Cardale Jones!

The only part of the state congressman's proclamation with which I'd quibble is that "one of Ohio's finest athletes" part of the last sentence.

No, Cardale Jones is one of Ohio's finest human beings. Long live King Cardale, and long may he reign.
