So Rob Lowe (the actor) is reporting on twitter that Peyton is going to retire.

This brings to mind that movie in which he made out with Demi Moore.

Hearing my fave, #18 Peyton Manning will not return to #NFL. Wow. #Colts
 
This. The last time I saw anything from Rob Lowe it was a Butterfinger commercial before my Yahoo video.

I think he has a tv show now but he could be the biggest actor on the planet and I'd still wonder why he's tweeting inside information on Peyton Manning. Are they gay lovers or something? Not that there's anything wrong with that. Actually that might be kinda hot.
 
That's why I posted it. It's funny.

He also forwarded his tweet to Rich Eisen for confirmation.

Here ya go.

The first Peyton Manning retirement report, from an unlikely source

As questions continue to swirl regarding the future of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, word has emerged on Twitter that Manning will retire.

Such word comes from Rob Lowe, the actor/Colts fan. Lowe, who appeared last month on The Rich Eisen Podcast, tells his 230,000-plus followers that Lowe is hearing Manning will call it quits.

Lowe says that his “people” say it will happen today. Rosenthal, who actually listened to Lowe on The Rich Eisen Podcast, says that Lowe said he’s “friendly” with Colts owner Jim Irsay.

And so we wait.

Who knows? Maybe Lowe will end up with a Pulitzer to put on the mantle next to all those acting awards he may eventually win
 
Adding fuel to the fire, Eli Manning's practice was cut short today because "he's suffering from a stomach flu."

Ostensibly to fly out to Indy and stand by Peyton at the retirement announcement?
 
Thing is that it's really not far fetched. The idea has been out there for months and with the Colts obviously looking to move forward and Peyton well into the second half of his career anyway it wouldn't be at all surprising.

I can't see the NFL allowing a Peyton retirement announcement days before the Championship games. Goddell is too much of a perfectionist to allow anything to detract from them and the Superbowl.

This is the stickler. I agree so unless they're going to be totally out of character and buck the system then any retirement announcement will be in February.
