Rob Lowe? Yes. Rob Lowe Tweeting That Peyton Manning Is Done Playing Football UPDATE Archie Manning Denies Rumor

And after looking him up, the only movies I’ve ever seen with him are the Austin Powers series.

Mark Wahlberg would never have let Peyton Manning retire.

Hahahahahahaha. Although he could play Adam Schefter in ESPN: The Movie.

Despite the validity of this information… this is hilarious.

I hope it’s because he doesn’t want to play anymore, not because he doesn’t want to learn a new system or anything. I would hate for the Colts to force him into retirement.

Archie Manning laughed when he heard @RobLowe said Peyton will retire, “Noooo…he ain’t retiring. I think he would’ve told me.” #NFL32

Oh man, I wonder if this could turn into Bill Polian vs Jay Mohr part deux? (or is that part duh?)

Either way, It would be categorically epic!!

Ran the Rob Lowe Peyton Manning tweet past Manning’s agent, Tom Condon, a little while ago. Was first he’d heard of it and said if Manning was retiring it was news to him. I told Tom I had a feeling this wouldn’t be the last call he got on this topic

I take his agents comments, over an actors.

“lowe’s film career is over”

My sources tell me Rob will star in an epic remake of “Deep Throat” with aging porn stars and 4 finger circus clowns!

Jim Irsay’s twitter.

he was that deaf mute in “The Stand” by Stephan King.

He was also in tommy boy, sabotaging Chris Farley’s character by switching the shipping orders. Ultimately he got hit in the balls, then arrested. If he’d screw over tommy boy, he’s obviously not to be trusted…

Aside from the facts that Peyton Manning is 36 and coming off of 3 neck surgeries in the past 19 months, his nerve damage that was supposed to heal in 2-3 months still hasn’t regenerated and Mr. Lowe really has no reason to make this up, this would explain a lot of the recent actions of the front office, including the handling of Jim Caldwell.

Jim Caldwell was, as it’s been described by radio pundits and bloggers alike, left hung out to dry when the Colts were decidedly mum on his status as HC here in Indy after the firing of the Polians and hiring of Ryan Grigson. I don’t think they were stringing him along at all – I think they were waiting on the results and health updates from Manning’s doctors before they made a decision on Caldwell. If the results come back positive, then you keep JC and maintain that continuity with the coaching staff for another run with Manning. If the results come back negative, you do exactly what we’e seen happen in the last 48 hours: fire the head coach and start cleaning house for a rebuilding project. 4 coaches have been canned since tuesday: Jim Caldwell, Pete Metzelaars (OL Coach), Frank Reich (WR Coach), and the DB coach.

I don’t believe a single word to come out of Tom Condon’s or Archie Manning’s mouths. It’s Condon’s job as an agent and Archie’s duty as a father to guard Manning’s image and the dissemination of information pertaining to him. I highly doubt Manning would want his retirement story broken by Mr. Robert Lowe of all people (thought that is kinda cool). And Jimmy Irsay didn’t exactly refute the story when given the chance, instead opting to reference a CIA informant “deep throat,” which I think, given his cryptic nature, lends more credence actually to Lowe’s assertion.
