Peyton Manning is retiring, Rob Lowe said so

There has been a lot of talk (maybe too much talk) about the future of Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning. With an injured neck that just can’t seem to get right, many have speculated that he will just retire.

And now, we get word from someone who says that Manning will retire today. Everyone’s favorite boss on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” Rob Lowe, tweets that he’s hearing that Manning will hang them up. Here are his tweets:

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

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

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

As of this posting, Manning has not yet made any announcement and Lowe is hardly known for breaking sports stories. But, hey, he’s a high-profile Colts fan who probably knows several people in the organization. And, his sitcom is based in Indiana, so there is that sitting right out there too.
