This weekend has been the opening weekend for the rugby 6 Nations Championship, but Superbowl XLVI is also taking place in Indianapolis.
Throw in the start of the Stobart Super League rugby league as well in Europe, then it all makes for cracking viewing for spectators of oval ball sports.
Here's the home page for the Greatest Show on Earth (that's the rugby by the way, friends from the Americas...) RBS 6 Nations Championship & today we witnessed a cracking game from Dublin, which you can see here if you are in the UK: Ireland v Wales 5th Feb 2012.
For all your Superbowl facts & figures go with this: Superbowl 2012 & the feeling across USA as I saw it last week read Superbowl fever in USA.
Super League's opening weekend also coincided with these other great events, and rugby league broke new ground with its first fixture to be played out on artificial turf: Widnes v Wakefield 1st match on artificial turf.
Finally it was great to see Scotland's most capped international in the dressers after the defeat to England yesterday. He arrived for a special presentation from the team to him to mark his retirement from the international game.
For a personal reflection on his career see here: Reflection on Chris Paterson's career.
Nobody would ever wish to play down the health benefits of sport - nor would anybody want to create a situation in which people were afraid to play sport or organise sport for fear of leaving themselves open to a compensation claim. By its nature, sport involves a degree of rough and tumble. Participants train hard, play hard and push themselves to improve.
