Rob Lowe knows some things about Indiana. His hit show "Parks and Recreation" takes place there. He is a huge Indianapolis Colts fan and he's tight with team owner Jim Irsay.

So when the actor tweeted Wednesday that a certain guy named Peyton Manning was hanging up his cleats, people listened.

Despite a wide-ranging backlash of bewilderment and ridicule, Lowe would not back off of the rumor, even telling NFL Network's Rich Eisen that he heard of the impending retirement from "a pretty darn good source."

There was no official word from Manning, the 35-year-old star who missed this season with a neck injury. But ESPN's Chris Mortensen tweeted that Manning's father, Archie, laughed at Lowe's report and said it wasn't true.

***The last paragraph, with a quote from Jim Irsay, is freaking hilarious.

1. Who's Rob Lowe? Sort of recall the name from a sex tape...

A sex tape in which I was NOT impressed.
