NFL has top two TV programs in Social Media hits

There is a wonderful website called SocialGuide.com that covers TV's popularity through social media comments in real time. SocialGuide gives the top 5 shows at any given time along with the number of social media comments and percentage of buzz (the percentage of total SocialGuide population that is talking about that program).

Social Guide has specific tabs to filter by subject, one of them being sports so you can compare all sports programming.

Looking at Social Guide for last week, the NFL had the top two most commented programs. The number one slot went to the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints league opener, which had a thrilling ending. The second spot went to the Cowboys-Jets matchup on Sunday night, which saw the Cowboys give up 17 unanswered Jet points in the 4th quarter to give away the game. (Me thinks that the record tweeting to #quarterbackbetterthanRomo probably started soon after this game. And rightly so, Romo was as effective at passing that night as Cheney is at shooting quail).

The two NFL games topped all other programs with a large margin. Jersey Shore came in 3rd place (Dear American Citizen... really?! Jersey Shore is what you want to talk about?) with the GOP debates coming in at 4th place.

America's priorities: Sports, Sports, Trashy TV, Politics. Sounds about right.
