Dizzying week

So let me see if I this straight:

In the past week, the Jets signed former Giant Plaxico Burress and re-signed Santonio Holmes and Antonio Cromartie; flirted with Nnamdi Asumogha before the All-Pro cornerback signed with the Eagles; and all but said goodbye to Braylon Edwards after watching Brad Smith bolt to Buffalo.

The Giants said goodbye to stalwart, but aging, linemen Sean O'Hara and Rich Seubert; welcomed back Osi Umenyiora only to tell him he could shop himself around for a trade; flirted with a possible Burress return before he bolted to Jets; and swiped punter Steve Weatherford from Gang Green.

The Yankees flirted with Rockies' ace — now Cleveland Indian ace — Ubaldo Jimenez before deciding the price-tag was too high and for the first time in a long time stayed completely quiet at trade deadline.

The Mets, who traded closer Frankie Rodriguez earlier this month, said goodbye to All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran, but didn't completely rule out a chase for a playoff spot be keeping Jose Reyes and other very tradeable pieces.

Dozens of trades, hundred of signings in football and baseball this past week alone.

Stop the (sports) world. I want to get on.
