INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Peyton Manning isn't ready to retire and says the Colts' overhaul is creating an uncomfortable environment at the team complex.
 
The four-time league MVP made his comments in an interview with The Indianapolis Star (http://indy.st/yMVQY8).
 
Manning took time to poke fun at rumors of his impending retirement, saying Rob Lowe's post on Twitter last week "caught him off-guard." Instead, Manning says, he's been working out at the team complex every day. He declined to say how close he is to 100 percent after his Sept. 8 neck surgery.
 
Manning also acknowledges team owner Jim Irsay, not new general manager Ryan Grigson, will make the decision about whether to pay a $28 million bonus in May to keep him. He says the offseason changes have everyone "walking around on eggshells."
