Archie has already cleared this. Anyways 9 out of 10 people don’t even know what the hell a rob Lowe is, so this is like a elementary school rumor

but much like Tracy Porter,
I prefer pic 6.

Let’s wait until March to start the speculation about Peyton.

=================================
If Peyton is retiring, then it would be best that he let’s the Colts know so they know what direction to take.

@Peyton = please retire from the Oreo cookie eating contest commercials while you’re at it.

That might true. You might be unfamiliar with him, but I guarantee your wife isn’t :)

However I’m keeping the $28M as a signing bonus for becoming the new HC… Ok it’s unrealistic, but realistically he was already the coach to begin with

The Pats and Colts play again next year, and I was hoping for at least one more rematch between those 2. Easily the best QB rivalry of all time.

Archie laughed out loud when told of the story and said, ” He ain’t retiring. I think he would have told me if he was.”

So much for the “Rob Report”, but he got some attention today.

Would be no surprise.

Amazing the number of goobers on here who think Peyton can just go over and sign with another team. Peyton may not have no choice but to retire.

He doesn’t have to play again. I won’t use this as a source, but I wouldn’t think it was all that unlikely even if no one said so.

1) That is a serious injury that he’s already had multiple surgeries for. What’s the risk of it happening again?

2) If he comes back, there will definitely be a messy situation with the Colts. Why tarnish his image in Indy with a messy exit?

3) Does he really want to play for another team, learn a new playbook, greet a new city, face the media hounding him, etc, while worrying about his neck?

4) If the Colts decide to keep him, does he really want to deal with a Luck QB controversy, learn a new playbook under a new regime, all the while trying to steer a 2-14 team back to prominence (with a bad neck) ?

4) He’s already a lock for the HOF. He’s already won a superbowl, and he already has fantastic career numbers. He’d be going out “on top”

The past decade has been filled with such Collosally Epic battles, that it would not be believable if it was written as fiction. Both the wins and losses have been high stakes, high drama and ultimately awesome contests that I will recount the rest of my life.

If it is true, God speed, Peyton. I wish you the best.

He had an amazing run, but Father Time comes calling for every career eventually. If this is true, I’m glad that Manning has shown the good judgment to retire with his legacy, and relative good health, intact.

Maybe his neck still won’t heal correctly. So much for the greatest of all time talk. He hasn’t played nearly long enough and only has one ring. I am betting on him coming back though.
