Buffalo News Admits "Ultimate" Screw-Up

The Buffalo News is retracting its story on Carl "The Rezmanian Devil" Kettle, who in a hard-hitting piece of un-news was not arrested this weekend in Salamanca and did not kick a police officer in the head causing him to lose consciousness. In addition, he did not urinate publicly and did not flee police prior to his non-existent arrest. These actions can be attributed to another ultimate fighter that shares his name.

The Buffalo News has removed the original erroneous article blaming the "Devil" from its site, as has WIVB, which piggybacked on the story. Undoubtedly, attorneys for the newspaper are waiting with bated breath to see how pissed "The Rezmanian Devil" is over this thing.

Matthew R. Swenson, attorney for the misidentified Kettle, described his client's embarrassment and humiliation over the incident.

“For the record, Mr. Kettle is a loving and dedicated husband and father, who never would use his martial arts training outside of the ring,” Swenson said in a statement.

What's most frightening is that there are two ultimate fighters in the town named Carl. L. Kettle, which begs the question: How many self-taught killing machines are there walking the streets of Salamanca? No matter, "The Rezmanian Devil" is almost certain to make more money on this bit of good fortune than he ever will in the ultimate fighting ring.
