Peyton Manning says he won't run for office.

“I certainly have an interest in politics and in our country,” Manning said on Nashville radio station WGFX. “I just have zero interest in being a politician.”

Speculation was rampant Tuesday after Bob Corker announced he wouldn't run to keep his U.S. Senate seat in 2018. Corker said Wednesday the chances of Manning running were low.

"Is there a chance down the road that he can be enticed to run for the United States Senate or something like that? I hope so," Corker, a Republican, said in Washington.

Manning played golf with President Trump earlier this year.

Tennessee's other senator, Lamar Alexander, thought aloud about it earlier this year: “Everybody likes Peyton Manning, including me," he said with a chuckle.

One report, quoting a congressman from Tennessee, said Manning wouldn't likely run in 2018, but that 2020 is a possibility.
