Brendon AyanbadejoSTSean Morey hirty-one NFL players made their Pro Bowl debuts this year, and most of them proved on Sunday that they belong.

Jets CB Darrelle Revis made an amazing one-handed interception of Eli Manning’s pass in the end zone in the third quarter to preserve the AFC’s lead.

Besides that interception, Manning had a solid showing in his first all-star game. He finished 8-of-14 for 111 yards and threw the winning touchdown pass to game MVP Larry Fitzgerald.

Vikings CB Antoine Winfield, making his first Pro Bowl appearance after 10 years in the league, intercepted Kerry Collins‘ pass deep in NFC territory in the third quarter, preventing the AFC from building on its lead.

The star of the AFC defensive effort was Colts first-timer Robert Mathis. In the first quarter, he sacked Drew Brees, forced a fumble and then recovered the ball. He brought down Brees again in the second quarter for a 13-yard loss.

On offense, Ravens RB Le’Ron McClain ran for the AFC’s only touchdown in the fourth quarter, while Texans receiver Owen Daniels‘ 9-yard TD reception capped the AFC’s six-play, 52 yard drive just before halftime. McClain’s touchdown came on the rarely ever seen, but well-executed, fumble-rooskie play.

"What do you want Barney?"
"The ball, the ball, the ball!!"
"Ball, what ball, where?"
"THAT BALL! There, there, THERE!"
"I'm sorry where?"
"I'm looking at it now, it's in your hand, you great stupid sheep."
"What did you call me?"
"A sheep. A stupid sheep. Are you deaf as well as stupid? THROW... ME... THE... BALL!!"

The conversation we'd been having 30 secs before I took this. Barney recently found his voice (he's still pretty much silent on walks but likes to "talk" when we're playing at home). He starts by throwing his head back and snapping his teeth together, in a strange "silent bark", then he starts groaning, whining and growling and finally he barks his head off, usually accompanied by pouncing at me. That lasts until suddenly he decides he can't stand the excitement any more, when he collapses to the floor in a silent, quivering heap, often biting his lip, or sticking his tongue out, as he glares at me ;-)

Barney wouldn't play the usual BC stalking/staring/circling games when he first came to live with us. It wasn't until I introduced him to tennis balls that he showed his instincts. Now, he's never happier than when circling, stalking, pinning himself to the floor and staring, staring, staring, he LOVES staring! Playing with a border collie is always exciting, if slightly frightening sometimes!! Well, I don't find him frightening (apart from when he's trying to nip my nose!) but I know quite a few who get unnerved by the staring and stalking... I wonder why? ;-)
