The father-son team of Gary and Matt were eliminated this week.

-- "Simpson, Sale win Battle of the Blades" in Vancouver 24 hours on November 20, 2009

Another Friday, another Amazing Race error by the same writer. The singular team was eliminated. It would be correct to write that Father and son Gary and Matt were eliminated, but the subject in the sentence in the 24 hours article is team, so was eliminated should have been written. Is that clear? Clear as mud?
