PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : PRO BOWL : Cowboys, 49ers Dominate Voting

Their recent slump didn’t hurt the Dallas Cowboys in the Pro Bowl voting announced Thursday.

Ten Cowboys, including starting running back Emmitt Smith, guard Nate Newton, tight end Jay Novacek, defensive lineman Charles Haley and cornerback Darren Woodson, were selected in balloting by players, coaches and fans.

The other Cowboys chosen for the Feb. 4 game at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu were backups Troy Aikman at quarterback, Michael Irvin at wide receiver, Larry Allen at guard, Mark Tuinei at tackle and center Ray Donaldson, who is injured.

Not elected to the game was Cowboy cornerback Deion Sanders.

It was the third consecutive year Dallas had the most selections.

San Francisco added nine players on the NFC squad, including wide receiver Jerry Rice, who made it for the 10th time in 11 seasons. The other starters from the 49ers were linebacker Lee Woodall, safety Merton Hanks and cornerback Eric Davis.

Backups from San Francisco are quarterback Steve Young, defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield, linebacker Ken Norton and safety Tim McDonald. Center Bart Oates will replace Donaldson.

Green Bay’s Brett Favre beat out the more celebrated quarterbacks, Young and Aikman, on the NFC squad.

Denver had the most representatives on the AFC team, six, followed by Kansas City with five.

Dan Marino was selected for the ninth time and will start at quarterback for the AFC. He’ll have Chris Warren of Seattle and Marshall Faulk of Indianapolis behind him. The only rookie in the game, running back Curtis Martin of New England, will back up Warren and Faulk.
