The Most-Searched Athletes Of 2010

Bing just sent along their list of the most-searched athletes and teams of 2010, and since we consider ourselves aficionados of this sort of thing we thought we’d share it with you.

No surprises at the top: Tiger Woods and LeBron James were 1 and 2, respectively. Woods’ dalliances were really starting to become a big deal around New Year’s 2010, and it was his early-year search results that likely made him #1.

Meanwhile, LeBron owned the summer. “The Decision” took place on July 8th, but in the leadup to it you had plenty of people Bing-searching (Binging? Is that a thing yet?) for scoops on where he’d land. Afterward, you likely had a ton of people scouring the web for LeBron hate.

The biggest surprises on this list? Tony Romo (no surprise he made the list, but #3? C’mon, America.) and Colt McCoy (again, we realize he was a quarterback at Texas, and Texas loves their football, but we don’t see this.). Here are the two lists in full:
