It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live for the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. That's 888-808-1019. If you want to join the show, you can do that by calling our Red Pocket Mobile fan line. You got something? Yeah, I was just thinking. You were talking about the burner account for Kevin Durant. He's got over 20 million followers on his regular account. Yeah, yeah. So you got to believe that one of those 20 million followers have gone deep into this and have confirmed that it is indeed his burner account. Well, I mean, I think that he knew that he eventually would be...
Boomer Esiason 0:48
like just cornered with it because of IP addresses or whatever else. And that's why he didn't lie about it yesterday. It just really sucks that he would do something like that. Here's a guy who's a Hall of Fame basketball player, and you could probably say at one point in time was trending to be a top five all-time player, given his size, given his ability, given the championships, given the MVPs. And all of that. And then, you know, obviously blows out his Achilles. And ever since then, he's still a great player. Don't get me wrong. But man, why is he even messing around with this crap? Yeah, he's got some sort of weird obsession with it. He's always had a weird obsession with it.

What are the implications of Kevin Durant's burner accounts?

Boomer Esiason 1:24
He's more active in answering fans than any other superstar out there. That's not bad. He's definitely gone back and forth with somebody around here. I don't know. It might have been Evan or somebody. In the past. So, yeah, I mean, he's just he's he's he's totally into it. And I just it drives me crazy, though, that his response yesterday when confronted with this was I'm not going to get into any Twitter nonsense. You've been getting into Twitter nonsense your entire career. You've created more Twitter nonsense than just about anybody in the NBA. So now all of a sudden you're not going to get into Twitter nonsense? Yeah. I mean, if it wasn't for you dabbling in Twitter nonsense, you wouldn't be in this situation.
Boomer Esiason 2:06
So, yeah, that confirmed it for me. All you had to say was no, that wasn't me. It was funny, you know, and I would have believed him. I mean, he's 37 years old. How much longer do you think he has? You know, how many years was he a free agent at the end of this year? Or does he have a contract situation when he got there to Houston? I'd have to take a look at that. But I don't know if he would play past whatever contract he has now. But if someone's willing to pay him, he's a guy that I think will continue to play. If someone's going to give him, so he's got one more year, and then is it a player option or a team option? He's got 26, 27 for 44 million. He's definitely back there. Yeah. Definitely back for next year.
Boomer Esiason 2:51
I would say yes. What does the green mean there? That's a player option. He'll be back there for $46 million. Then he's an unrestricted free agent at the age of 40. So two more full years is what he's going to play after this year. So two and a half more years of Kevin Durant pretending to be get off my Dickerson. Do you think C.J. Stroud would be an option for a team looking for a quarterback? On the trade market? No. No. Okay. Well, why do you bring that up? Well, I bring that up because yesterday, longtime Houston NFL writer who has covered the entire league in addition to the Texans, who I believe is a Hall of Famer in his own right, John McClain. Oh, yeah, I know who he is, yes. John McClain said that he would walk down whatever famous street in Houston that's there naked.
Boomer Esiason 3:45
And he is a very large man, a very old, large man, that he would walk down. This street naked if the Texans traded C.J. Stroud because there was chatter around him. And he was like, does anybody want to walk down naked or put that out there on the other side? If he's not traded, I don't think so. Just shows you how serious I am about him not being dealt. Yeah, I agree with him. He wanted to squash all of all of that.
