The Facts:
Following up on
the ongoing story. ... Actor Rob Lowe caused a stir two weeks ago when, via Twitter, he passed along
a rumor he heard that Manning was retiring. Those in the Manning family have responded with questions over how Lowe would even know that information. And, on Monday, the oldest Manning brother expressed his belief that the opposite is true, that his younger brother is indeed set on adding to an already illustrious career. When Cooper Manning was asked if Peyton is "determined," he responded quickly, saying, "I think that's a great word for it."

Cooper Manning continued: "What I do know is Peyton is going to do every single thing a human being can possibly do to get ready to play again. Where, when and how he'll play, that's all up in the air. But as far as his body goes, Peyton's smart, he'll know what to do. Anyone predicting what will happen now going forward is just wasting their breath. But he is working as hard as anyone can work to get out there again. ..." In case you've missed it, Manning's ability to return will depend on nerve regeneration in his neck, a situation that is unpredictable and difficult on which to put a timetable. Doctors have said the average return for an athlete would be somewhere between nine months and a year, but that it varies wildly enough to the point where the regeneration could happen next week -- or not at all. Also in case you've missed it, we're likely to have more on this story in coming days. Stay tuned.
