Buffalo Bisons ‘guarantee' spring temps at home opener – or you get a free ticket
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – The 'Conehead Guarantee' won't be the only promise made at the ballpark during the Buffalo Bisons home opener next week. The Bisons, the Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will 'Guarantee Spring' on Friday, March 28, during what will be the earliest home opener in team's 140-year history. Advertisement Bisons detail new food, promotions and sound system coming for 2025 season 'On Opening Day, it WILL BE 50 DEGREES at first pitch!' the team promised in a press release, emphasizing the promotion in bold text. 'But if it's not, all fans in attendance will be able to exchange their game ticket at the Sahlen Field Box Office for a FREE TICKET for a March/April Bisons game at Sahlen Field.' Gates open at 1 p.m. ahead of the 2:05 p.m. first pitch against the Rochester Red Wings, the Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals. The first 4,000 fans in attendance will also receive a 2025 magnetic schedule. And, of course, all fans 21 and up can get in on the 'Conehead Guarantee' from the team's legendary beer vendor: 'Get a warm beer from me, you drink it for free!' Catching up with 'Conehead' at Sahlen Field Advertisement Although Buffalo set a record high temperature earlier this week, touching 76 degrees, temperatures look cooler next week, with highs in the 40s. Stay tuned to the latest 4Warn Forecast to check on the likelihood of cashing in on the team's guarantee. Opening Day continues to creep earlier and earlier for the Bisons. Last year, fans received commemorative ice scrapers when the team opened on March 29, with a gametime temperature of 43 degrees. This will be at least the third consecutive season the club has started play in March, after never previously playing a game before April 1.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Confront Ryan Reynolds About Blake Lively Drama
During a joke Q&A segment during the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler asked guest Ryan Reynolds, 'Reynolds, how's it going?' 'Great,' Reynolds said, before asking in a self-conscious voice, 'Why, what have you heard?' The joke got a lot of laughter and some applause from the audience; it was a reference to the heated ongoing legal battle between Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, who smiled awkwardly beside her husband, and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. Reynolds did not elaborate further on the topic, but he did ask Fey and Poehler if he should go to the hospital after eating some of the old Conehead props backstage. (Poehler told Reynolds to 'go to the hospital right away.') Audience Q&A with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey! #SNL50 — Saturday Night Live - SNL (@nbcsnl) February 17, 2025 Later in the segment, Fey and Poehler took a timely question from one-time host/recurring guest Peyton Manning. 'Is Lorne [Michaels] going to retire now?' he asked, in reference to the years of speculation over who would take the SNL showrunner's place when he steps down from the series. When Fey and Poehler answered no, Manning elaborated, 'That's great news. Lorne: never retire! It's brutal out here.' The former NFL star complained about all the commercials he's been doing lately, concluding, 'I hate being retired... Seriously Lorne: getting old sucks. I feel like such a loser. [Zach] Galifianakis knows what I'm talking about.' Galifianakis, also in the audience, yelled back, 'Please stop bothering me, I just want to relax and watch Kanye perform!' Another question from the audience came from Jon Hamm, who insecurely asked Fey and Poehler, 'Am I funny?' Fey and Poehler assured the Mad Men star that he was, but their hearts clearly weren't in it. Soon after, musician Bad Bunny asked them in Spanish if they thought he was funny. Poehler assured Bad Bunny in Spanish that he was, unlike poor Hamm. Perhaps the most risqué joke of the sketch came from former cast member Fred Armisen, who complained about a sketch of his that got cut in 2005. When Fey and Poehler assured him that he could resubmit the sketch, Armisen replied, 'Great! Next time Spacey hosts!'
