Rob Lowe Says Peyton Is Retiring Today....

[Peyton and Eli fan]

I know - it's Rob Lowe, but thought I'd share...

RobLowe Rob Lowe

Hearing my fave, #18 Peyton Manning will not return to #NFL. Wow. #Colts

RobLowe Rob Lowe

@richeisen My people are saying Manning will retire today. What do you hear? #NFL

RobLowe Rob Lowe

#Colts fans, let's hope my info is wrong. Don't like being wrong, but this time... I'm hoping #NFL #Manning

[MTC]

Don't believe what he's saying. No way Peyton Manning retires.

[vitoaf27]

I will not believe it until I hear it from his mouth. ((

[WSO]

whos Rob Lowe? anyways

[Peyton and Eli fan]

Ok, I know he's a fan, but what exactly is his connection to the team? Who are "his people"

[Mrfox]

is he rehearsing a script for a show or something?

[NM_Colts]

Yep, all over Twitter. Hope it's wrong. I tweeted Jim Irsay asking him to address the rumor. He already shot down the Fisher rumor.

[TubaGuy]

Until it happens, I don't put much stock in tweets or posts like this. But if he does, then his recovery is obviously not coming along like it should. If that is the case, then it is a wise decision that we will all hate.

[JWF]

Wow.

Not buying it.

Unless he had a doctor visit that didnt go well recently I cant understand why he'd do it.

[WSO]

Wow.

Not buying it.

Unless he had a doctor visit that didnt go well recently I cant understand why he'd do it.

Its hard to think Manning would retire considering how much he loves the game and think back to the emotion during the Texans game that he showed on the sidelines.

[ruksak]

Why didn't Rob Lowe know that Ashley was pregnant?

[HungarianColtsFan]

Hmmmm

I'm really skeptic about tweets.

But lets play it was true...

I think Manning would retire if he isn't in 100% shape. So if this day is today... I would fell in deep sorrow.

On the other hand, we have an OC or HC candidate...

I strongly hope, it is NOT TRUE and Peyton will PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MAC]

Sounds ridiculous on the surface, but considering that I was upset after yesterdays press conference because of a whole bunch of hints that Peyton isn't in their plans going forward, it makes a little bit of sense. It would explain WHY Peyton isn't in their plans, why they avoided talking about him at all, and why there is so much emphasis on 1998 and rebuilding. Better this than them shoving him unceremoniously out the door.

But it's Rob Lowe.................... I mean what the ______________________.

[ColtsPacersfan]

Not buying it. I am not buying anything what the media says.

[TubaGuy]

If the local media guys were upset about getting scooped by the New York media guys, they're going to be in the ER if this turns out to be true...Rob Lowe gets the scoop?!?! ;)

[DILLIGAFER]

Why didn't Rob Lowe know that Ashley was pregnant?

Thankyou.

[HungarianColtsFan]

whos Rob Lowe? anyways

According to StampedeBlue he is Irsay's friend and keeps talking with Irsay...

I'm starting to fear it is true...unless this is a hoax again.

[Rich Cannon]

Lets hear it from Peyton before we go crazy.

[ruksak]

[Nadine]

Rob Lowe needs to say who his 'people' are

[Nadine]

Thank you

[presto123]

I JUST posted in other threads that I wasn't optimistic about his return. I REALLY hope this isn't true though:(

[DILLIGAFER]

Why would he retire... TODAY???

[WSO]

Does anyone know what the implications of Manning hypothetically retiring would have on the cap?

[shakedownstreet]

[BelieveinB]

Being a PM fan is much more to me than following his football. His impact on the city and state but more importantly his football knowledge. His ability to breakdown defenses and find every weak spot would be invaluable to the team. Honestly, selfish as it may sound, If peyton should not be on the field for the colts next season, my pipe dream would be that he retire with his health and retain some coaching position with the colts. I'm sure irsay would welcome this, peyton would be where he started and would fans would love the idea of him staying in the house that HE built. OK God. are you listening? LOL

Can we bring the dislike button back..

[ruksak]

Why didn't Irsay fire Caldwell 2 weeks ago? He knew dang good and well he was firing him.

[shakedownstreet]

Can we bring the dislike button back..

funny

[MyBeautifulChineseDoll]

If true,then i'm going to step away from football and the colts for a couple of years too.I can't bare the thought.

[Thewholefnshow28]

Well if this is true the Colts bandwagon is about to get a lot lighter.

I am not going to believe until I see Peyton himself saying I am retiring from football.

[ColtsPacersfan]

Lets all calm down here. Didn't we learn lesson with the Caldwell situation that we should not believe what we read online? I will wait until I hear it from Irsay and Manning. If its true then thank you for the Memories and lets cheer on the future of the Colts. But lets all calm down here don't panic just yet.

[TubaGuy]

Good post DwightFreeneyRules. And as far as jumping off the Colts bandwagon...not happening here. I was a Colts fan long before Peyton came and I'll be a Colts fan long after Peyton leaves, whether it's today or a few years down the road.

[MSColtsFan]

So our lasting memories of PM will be walking off the field after the playoff loss to the Jets, watching him lost on the sidelines of a 2-14 season, and Rob Lowe telling us the GOAT is done? Seriously? This can not be how this story ends. This isn't real because it can't be the way the story ends. Rob Lowe? If true it may take a little longer to shake those images than to regain the thoughts of all the wins, records, and Superbowl....... Rob Lowe. Rob Lowe? Rob bleeping Lowe.

Tom Condon was reached by LaConfora, and says first he's heard of it:

Archie says no too, according to Mort:

Maybe he didn't have the latest update on Manning's health. Maybe Manning's nerve regeneration is not coming along the way it should and Irsay knows that Manning will not be ready on March 7th and has decided that it is in the franchise's best long term interest to let him walk.

Without Manning, Caldwell becomes very expendable. I think it is interesting that (to my knowledge) Manning has not been asked to comment or Caldwell's firing, or has refused to.

[PatMcAfeeFan]

Jason LaCanfora is trying to figure everything out.

Good post DwightFreeneyRules. And as far as jumping off the Colts bandwagon...not happening here. I was a Colts fan long before Peyton came and I'll be a Colts fan long after Peyton leaves, whether it's today or a few years down the road.

I would seriously hope that people wouldn't jump ship. The proper response would be to celebrate what that man has done for our team, our city and our citizens and continue to sport the shoe.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I don't think it is true but if it turns out to be true I will be very,very, sad.

[DILLIGAFER]

Come on Peyton, J.L. or Irsay.. lets hear it..

[19colt]

Come on who are you going to believe? The Greatest Kicker of All Time or Rob Lowe? AV said #18 was working out hard.
