    twitter rumor: Peyton to announce retirement

    The announcement is supposedly later today or tomorrow.

    source: Manning family friend Rob Lowe, on twitter:

    http://twitter.com/#!/RobLowe


    Hearing my fave, #18 Peyton Manning will not return to #NFL. Wow. #Colts
    Lowe to Rich Eisen of ESPN:

    My people are saying Manning will retire today. What do you hear? #NFL
    Eisen
    get out!
    Lowe's response:

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

    Lowe's tweets were re-tweeted by Indy sportswriter John Rabjohns

    The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).

      Good for Peyton.... be a proud dad and move on with your life.

              NOBODY else is reporting this besides Lowe, he's probably doing this for attention

                  He's actually Irsay's friend I guess...but holy ****...did Rob Lowe just break the biggest NFL story of maybe the past decade?

                          pro football talk has picked up the story, though Lowe is still the only source:

                          The first Peyton Manning retirement report, from an unlikely source
                          http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/18/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.


                          Since twitter accounts are so often hacked, I would guess this is more likely false than not, but who knows?

                              As Penguins posted, has that been the delay in the Caldwell firing? Nah, hard to believe.

                                          Well, he was a valued member of the White House Communications Staff. Surely retirement news is small potatoes for Sam Seaborn!

                                              Rob Lowe used to be a drunk, like Charlie Sheen, this is probably another instance

                                                  Eisen didn't tweet this to Lowe. Lowe tweeted it to Eisen.

                                                  Eisen responded with
                                                  @RobLowe get out.
                                                  I won't believe it until I hear it from Peyton's mouth.

                                                          I guess you never know. Colts did release Pete Metzelaars today and Frank Reich. My main memory of Metzelaars I felt bad for him. Someone had burglarized his house an stole his Super Bowl ring.
