The Pinstriped Posers! Globally, the Boston Marathon bombings were the #1 most-searched event, with #Boston the top GOOGLE+ hashtag.
Tom Brady was the #4 most searched NFL player this past year, but the New England Patriots did not even show up in the Top Ten of NFL teams (the Jacksonville Jaguars made it!).
