Most reputable doctors will tell you that the best way to deal with a fever is a combination of rest, Acetaminophen, and fluids.
Well I say, the hell with all that.
Dr. Murray here has the ONLY prescription for the fever I know you’re suffering from if you’re reading this column, and that’s Zappe Fever!
To treat it, you’ve got to book a flight to enjoy the weekend in Cleveland, culminating by watching the young rookie quarterback and his Patriots teammates beat the middling Browns on Sunday afternoon.
If you’re booked, I bet you’re already feeling better.
But if you’re REALLY looking to treat that Zappe Fever, you should also follow these travel tips to truly enjoy your weekend in the “Mistake by The Lake”.
1.) DO: <a href="https://www.rockhall.com" target="_blank">VISIT THE ROCK N' ROLL HALL OF FAME</a>

As an admitted museum nerd, I’ve certainly been to better (like the WW2 Museum in New Orleans) but, if you’re even the littlest bit of a music fan or ever picked up a guitar, you owe it to yourself to pay a visit here.
There’s just so much artist memorabilia including fashion, instruments, records, contracts, etc. that there’s guaranteed to be something that’ll make you say “wow” and justify the ticket price.
For me, that was the Pink Floyd “The Wall” display.
Just so, so cool to see up close.
2.) DO: <a href="https://www.stubhub.com/cleveland-guardians-cleveland-tickets-10-15-2022/event/150361699/?quantity=2" target="_blank">SUPPORT THE FIGHTIN' FRANCONA'S!</a>

The best thing possible about any kind of Patriots roadtrip, is when you can be a greedy pig and take advantage of an additional big sporting event that might be going on in the area.
Well guess what, you lucky bastards?
This weekend in Cleveland you get to do just that, as the Indi….uh.. GUARDIANS are at home Saturday and Sunday for games 3 & 4 of the ALDS against the New York Yankees.
If I was in your shoes, I’d do the Rock hall on Saturday early afternoon, go back to the hotel, freshen up, grab an early dinner, and then head over to Progressive Field just in time for first pitch.
That’d be one hell of a day before you even get to the impetus of the trip the next day.
And if you’re the type that would like to ride the dragon all the way until kickoff on Sunday?
3.) DO: <a href="https://www.jackentertainment.com/cleveland/" target="_blank">GAMBLE UNTIL YOU FEEL SHAME!</a>

The relatively new-ish Jack Casino, located right downtown and connected to the Tower City Mall, is (as you’d imagine) open 24/7 and ready to take your money and keep you up until Sunday.
Everything from Hold ‘Em, to Black Jack to slots, they’ve got it at The Jack.
4.) DO: TASTE A POLISH BOY!

No, I’m not telling you to go to Cleveland and act like Michael Jackson may or may not have. That’s just horrible.
But what I would strongly suggest you do, is get a Polish Boy into your mouth for lunch at some point during your trip.
The only place I’ve ever eaten a Polish Boy, is in Cleveland, and it’s a big kielbasa, in a roll, smothered with fries, coleslaw and bbq sauce.
It’s a messy, delicious disaster that you’ll likely be wearing as much as eating, and they’re easy to find all around the city either in restaurants or in food trucks.
5.) DON’T: TAUNT THE BROWNS FANS TOO MUCH

Not that I don’t want you to have fun, believe me, I do.
Yell, cheer for the Pats, have yourself a time.BUT FAIR WARNING.
I’m just saying from past experience both for myself and from friends who’ve gone on other trips out there, I’d tread lightly.
Those Browns fans have certainly seen their fair of shit and they know deep down they’re never going to see this loser team of theirs win a Super Bowl.
That does something to a person.
Adds a different level of angry and crazy you can’t account for.So take it from me.
You can laugh at them, but I wouldn’t do it too loudly and I’d steer clear of acting like an obnoxious dick calling attention to yourself in the stadium.In other words, there can be a real air of violence in that building at times, and I wouldn’t push it too much.
