"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For most fans, replica team jerseys are signs of long-time franchise affiliation, or tokens of cherished memories. And then there's this guy, who bought a Matt Schaub replica jersey in the Reliant Stadium parking lot after the Houston Texans lost a 23-20 overtime backbreaker to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The fan purchased the jersey for $200 and, perhaps inspired by Schaub's pick-six to Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, tried to torch it with his own lighter.\u00A0&lt;em&gt;(Warning -- there is some slightly NSFW language in certain parts of this video.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That didn't work so well -- it just melted the jersey a bit -- so the fan and a group of other tailgaters introduced lighter fluid into the process. Hey -- if it worked for Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival, why not? At that point, the poor little jersey burned up pretty good and disintegrated into nothingness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BURKE: Watt's bloody nose provides classic image&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no word on whether the Texans are considering doing something similar with the part of their playbook that had Schaub throwing at a weird angle to perhaps the NFL's best cornerback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(H/T: Deadspin)\n[si-nfl-player id=\"38c4c7d29bbe4d669a9a7288178a575c\"]&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
