Keyshawn Johnson calls Dallas a "homecoming" stop for visiting teams
The former Cowboys receiver's All The Smoke critique draws an unusually fast audience on DraftKings, alongside another football debate about Arch Manning.

Keyshawn Johnson Says The Dallas Cowboys Are In TROUBLE 😳
Keyshawn Johnson expected more from Dallas precisely because there had been less noise. "I thought the Cowboys would have been a lot better this year 'cause it was quiet," he tells Matt Barnes in an All The Smoke excerpt posted by DraftKings.
That optimism does not survive the conversation. Johnson points to losses against the Giants and an undrafted quarterback, then turns the Cowboys' home-field advantage into a joke: "Schedule them for homecoming in they own stadium." Barnes laughs and directs a message toward fellow All The Smoke personality Stephen Jackson: "I hope you hear this, Stak."
Johnson knows Dallas from inside the uniform, having played for the Cowboys in 2004 and 2005. Here, though, he is delivering the blunt assessment of a former player watching a team fall short of his expectations.
The Short drew roughly 64,000 views in its first day, about eleven times DraftKings' usual start for the format. Its comment section was also much busier than usual, with viewers debating roster spending, coaching and what a change in leadership might accomplish.
This is a podcast excerpt, not a betting commercial. DraftKings has another football discussion drawing an unusually fast audience: a Dan Le Batard Show clip reacting to Paul Finebaum's call for Texas to bench Arch Manning. The Cowboys conversation has already gained a companion, too, with Johnson comparing the Chiefs and 49ers in a separate upload.
