MIAMI _ Dante Hall of the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs has had a terrific half-season returning kickoffs and punts, with a pair of scores both ways. You could argue he is among the NFL's more exciting players.
But league MVP?
Can you say, ``Getting a little carried away''? To be fair, though, Le Bagush isn't the only person who believes that. So does Hall's agent. Nobody else who knows the NFL or has watched the Chiefs would agree.
This shouldn't be interpreted as anti-Hall in any way. He'd get my vote for Pro Bowl return specialist without question if the ballots were due today, seeing as he leads the league in punt returns and ranks sixth in kick returns.
Consider a few points, though:
_Hall isn't even the Most Valuable Player on his own team, let alone in the league. Running back Priest Holmes is in every way more important and more indispensable to Kansas City's drive to the Super Bowl. It isn't close. It isn't even close to being close. Ask yourself whom Dick Vermeil would rather be without in a big game?
