I spotted this one as well but decided not to report it, because in the USA sports teams always seem take the singular, even when their names are plural. So they say "The Washington Redskins is playing at home this Thanksgiving". It seems odd to my ear, too, because in the UK it is pretty much the opposite - "Blackpool are playing at home to Wigan next week". So I would say that this is an allowable local variation, rather than plain wrong.
