INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A local man was taken to the hospital with second- and third-degree burns Sunday after deputies said he tried to put on a flaming football jersey.

Timothy Salyers, 27, and Brianna Hook, 22, both of Indian River County, were at home watching the Green Bay Packers play the Dallas Cowboys and made a bet that the fan of the winning team would get to burn the losing fan's jersey, according to the Indian River County Sheriff's Office.

Hook is a Dallas fan, while Salyers roots for Green Bay.

Salyers told sheriff's deputies "he then grabbed the jersey with his right arm and attempted to put it on while it was on fire."
