[Air-L] need help tracking the flow of a web-based news article

I am currently trying to track the dissemination of an ESPN.com story from several months ago. Is there a way to track the link through tweets, retweets, likes, blog posts, etc.? I am interested in figuring out how many views the story received and how many online public mentions were made. Any help would be much appreciated. As a communications scholar, I am still a little 'green' in regards to Internet research tools. Best, Sam Jay -- Samuel M.
