Rob Lowe Creates Twitter Storm By Announcing 'Peyton Manning Will Not Return To The NFL'

"So I was tweeting that I heard this might be in the offing and then you learn the power of Twitter. That’s a powerful, powerful medium."

When asked if his prediction was true, Lowe tried to back-peddle from his initial statement. "I hope it is not true. I hope against hope it’s not true," he said.

The NFL rumor mill has been flooded with whispers that the 35-year-old Super Bowl winning quarterback may be done after a severe neck injury forced him on the sidelines all season, resulting in his beloved Colts having the worst record in the league and only winning two games all year and coach Jim Caldwell to be fired on Tuesday.

Lowe's revelations are far from just the opinions of a mere fan, the 47-year-old actor is currently starring in Parks And Recreation, which is filmed in Indiana, and is good friends with Colts owner, Jim Irsay.

Irsay's ailing team is expected to use their number pick in the upcoming NFL draft on Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, which could put Manning's job in jeopardy.

Instead of confirming or denying Lowe's claim, the team owner tweeted back: "My sources tell me Rob will star in an epic remake of Deep Throat with aging porn stars and 4 finger circus clowns!" a cheeky reference to Lowe's infamous 1988 sex tape during the Democratic National Convention.
