I don't think you bring the media circus and heaps of negative publicity to your league simply because it'll make sporscenter in the states.

I agree with this. What if he did come in and blow the doors off of the league? You would have the naysayers going on about how the CFL is just a bunch of hacks, etc.
If he comes in and struggles, then you have built in excuses like he was out of shape, not the same player, etc.
Of course that wouldn't really matter to CFL fans, but for the perception of the league itself to the U.S. and to CFL haters in Canada I see it as a bit of a no win situation.
