The NFL's meandering road back to the nation's second-largest market wound through Chicago on Tuesday, with team owners hearing the competing Los Angeles stadium pitches for the first time.

A league that goes to great lengths to avoid pitting owner against owner — revenue sharing, salary cap, and cross-ownership rules that preclude owners from fighting over the sports dollar in the same cities — is now bracing for a clash of the titans.

"I guess you could use the metaphor of musical chairs, and there's a bit of that going on," said Steve Tisch, co-owner of the New York Giants and a longtime L.A. resident. "The home [markets] haven't made their presentations to their respective clubs, so that's still a bit of a moving target. The presentations made today were really well done."

There have been countless proposals and options over the years. The most likely is in Carson, for the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders.

There might even be another for the Rams to return.
