I find it particularly jarring when a team with a plural countable-noun name (say, the Denver Broncos) are playing a team with an uncountable noun name (Miami Heat).
"Miami Heat is in the lead, but the Broncos are closing fast..." Ugh.

Zen, how do you know about the Miami Heat? Do they really get coverage in Australia? Or is their name just a joke there?
