Grapevine, Texas ? Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t want one NFL team in Los Angeles. He wants two. The California governor probably will have to be satisfied with half of his wish – at least in the near future.

Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and a committee of 11 owners heard presentations Tuesday from officials representing Los Angeles, Anaheim and Pasadena, three cities that want a club. The area has been without an NFL franchise for more than a decade.

Schwarzenegger went first. After meeting with the owners, the actor-turned-politician emerged to say he was there to make sure “we’re getting not only one NFL team to the Los Angeles area, Southern California, but to actually get two teams. That’s why I came. Why limit it?”

New York Giants chairman Steve Tisch, a longtime Los Angeles resident who is on the committee, said that was highly unlikely.

“I’d be shocked if the suggestion internally to recommend two teams ever comes up. I think the numbers are too big. I think it would be an overwhelming suggestion,” Tisch said.

Added Tagliabue: “One team is our immediate goal. Long term, I think two is a realistic goal.”

The 11 owners spent six hours listening to California politicians and deemed it a significant step in getting the NFL back to nation’s second-largest television market. Tagliabue has made that a priority since the Rams and Raiders left after the 1994 season.
