Brat Pack founder, sex tape star, TV actor, and now NFL pundit - who knew Rob Lowe was so multi-talented?

The former West Wing star caused a storm of speculation on Wednesday when he tweeted that football hero Peyton Manning was going to announce his retirement before the end of the day.

"Hearing my fave, #18 Peyton Manning will not return to #NFL. Wow," Lowe  wrote on Twitter, followed by a question to sports analyst Rich Eisen: " My people are saying Manning will retire today. What do you hear?"
