Jets Schedule Updated After Historic NFL Lockout

The NFL has arrived for the 2011-2012 season and football has never been more fun. The New York Jets, part of the American Football Conference (AFC) are one of three teams that New Yorkers claim each year. And this year the Jets schedule is going to make for some great football. The NY Jets Schedule kicks off with a Monday night football game against the Houston Texans and includes one other Monday night game.

Founded in 1959, the NY Jets were originally called the Titans of New York and officially became the Jets in 1963. The Jets schedule is crafted each year to allow them to share their home-field (New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey) with the New York Giants - theirs is the only arrangement like it in the NFL. Each team owns 50 percent of the stadium. Did you know that while they are officially called the New York Jets, the team actually plays its games in New Jersey! The same is true of the NY Giants and their shared field. The team once called Shea stadium its home field.

Even though the team has not won a Super Bowl since 1968, Jets tickets are hard to come by. Each and every New Yorker has their team and the Jets are a fan favorite. Fans will notice the Jets schedule 2011 will not be an easy one. Regular season for the team starts out with a match-up against the Dallas Cowboys and the team will meet up with both of NY's other teams - the NY Giants and the Buffalo Bills.

Additionally, the Jets schedule includes a game against the New England Patriots, their long-time division rival. This rivalry has roots dating back to a playoff game in 1966, where the Jets beat the Pats and took them out of the running for appearing in the first Super Bowl. This season, the NY Jets schedule includes a match-up with the New England Patriots in New England. This game will be in week five so it may not be a deciding factor in how the season plays out but for fans it is an important game.

The rest of the Jets schedule may not be an easy one. The team faces the Baltimore Ravens, the Denver Broncos and the Oakland Raiders in away games and the Miami Dolphins, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Diego Chargers at home. The Jets also have a rivalry with the Miami Dolphins so each season fans look forward to the match-up between these two.

It is not often in the Jets schedule that they play the New York Giants (after all they do share a home field) however, this year the teams will meet up twice. One game will be played in preseason with the Jets acting as the away team and the other game will not come to fruition until week 15 when the Jets get to act as the home team. The 2011-2012 season will be one Jets fans will not soon forget.

NBA Lockout - Check Out What Is Next For NBA's Highest Paid Players

The Employment Outlook today is tough for many people. According to The United States Labor Department, the average medium yearly salary is anywhere from ,00 to ,000. Depending on where you live, and your occupation. With two adults working, it's just enough to pay the rent, cars, insurance etc. But what if you earned a multi-million dollar salary, like many of our professional athletes. The NBA Teams are in a battle, a game of tug of war. This battle is between The Owners, and The Players. There are no real rules, and neither side is budging, as the season is slowly slipping by. With pre-season games canceled, and no agreement, Commissioner Stern now has kept his promise to cancel the first two weeks of regular season play. All NBA games, now canceled until November 14. Los Angeles Lakers, Derek Fisher is the Players Union President, and has been quoted saying that, "the players are not playing basketball because we are on strike, we are not playing because, The Owners have locked us out." The 1998-1999 NBA season was reduced to only 50 games. This was a strike. An agreement was not reached until January 1999. This Lockout could be as long. Some are saying there may not be a season at all.

While most NBA players make million dollar salaries, not all can afford to go an entire year without a paycheck. Rashard Lewis, Kobe Bryant, Paul Gasol, are some of the highest paid players. Lewis has a contract that pays him 8 million over six years. While there are plenty of players that are close to the minimum salary of 3,000. With that said, NBA Players are still in a far better position than the thousands of hourly workers that depend on the NBA's 6-month season. They are the workers that are employed at the arenas. Security, ushers, parking lot attendants, and restaurant employees. Most arenas are surrounded by hotels and restaurants that depend upon the basketball patrons. Orlando Florida, may be home to Disney World, and a hot vacation spot, but Orlando will feel the pinch as well. Last minute details are stalled for the NBA's 2012 All Star Games. The Games, are set to be hosted by Orlando Magic in their new Amway Arena. The All Star Games cover an entire week of games and events mainly held at Amway. Final decisions may be on hold.

So what are some of the players doing? Le Bron James was spotted playing football at his old High School in Akron, St. Vincent-St. Mary's. James had been reported talking to The NFL. This is not true. Kobe Bryant has been linked to rumors that he may sign a contract in Italy. Many Fans really do not have much sympathy for the Players or Owners. Together they provide a great and exciting basketball season, but to be unable to come to an agreement may be a matter of greed. Many people are asking, How did the salaries of professional athletes get so out of hand?

The NBA players are employees of their respective teams, and owners. So why, you may ask, do they want 53% of all ticket revenues? A 50/50 split is not good enough. They want to make more than their bosses. Overpaid players cut into franchise profits, and hurt the basketball business as a whole. Wizard Rashard Lewis was quoted as saying that. " I'm willing to sacrifice my salary to get a fair deal". In summary, both parties do agree on one fact. Nobody will be making any money, if nobody is playing basketball. It will be interesting to see the final results, and if we will learn anything from this.
