Google Zeitgeist, Rangers
Seems like the Texas Rangers were one of the most searched for terms this year in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area. No Cowboys, No Mavericks. Nationally the Rangers didn't even make the chart but locally they were ahead of the other pro teams, which I found surprising.

They were only ahead of the other teams because they get less national searches.
To compile these local lists, we found the most popular searches for each selected city and then ranked them based on how unique they were to that city. A query is ‘unique’ if it is disproportionately popular in a particular city compared to the rest of the country. This method explains why popular local searches (for example, for a specific movie theatre) may appear higher than a term for which people across the country are searching (for example, for a regional sports team)."
damned fine print
Well it was useless information anyway.
