The magnon modes of narrow-band manganites display softening and broadening for large k vectors. We critically review the several models proposed to explain the anomalous dispersions. A mechanism for the softening and shortened lifetime based on the motion of the e(g) electrons that reduces the Hund's rule exchange between the e(g) and t(2g) electron spins is presented.
