Here's what I analyzed from the chart:

Top 5 Teams in Facebook Likes: Cowboys, Steelers, Patriots, Saints, Packers

Top 5 Teams in Twitter Followers: Jets, Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, Packers

Lowest 5 Teams in Facebook Likes: Rams, Falcons, Jaguars, Titans, Bills

Lowest 5 Teams in Twitter Followers: Cardinals, Colts, Jaguars, Rams, Buccaneers

Wow... Colts have over 1 million Facebook Likes and just 17,000 Twitter followers? Is Peyton Manning quarterbacking the Facebook group and Kerry Collins running the Twitter feed?

Inaugural Post - The NHL's Social Media Policy

What a day to start a blog on Sports and Social Media! Today the NHL announced a new social media policy that promotes the use of social media, but also restricts players and operating personnel from using social media around game time.

From the NHL website, "As per the new policy, there is a total "blackout period" on the use of social media on game days, which for players begins two hours prior to opening face-off and is not lifted until players have finished their post-game media obligations. The suggested blackout period for hockey operations staff is even longer, beginning at 11 a.m. on game days."
