Shannon Quotes

The first thing I did when I met Shannon Tweed, or Cher, was say: `Here, there are no skeletons in Gene Simmons`s closet.` I refuse to lead a Dr Jekyll-and-Mr Hyde life. There are DJs who get caught with prostitutes, MPs with stockings on their head. It`s a waste of time. Just say, `This is who I am. Take it or leave it.` Then you sleep well.

We find out what`s in the hatch very quickly. I can tell you that much. There`s also more about Jack`s marriage and why Shannon`s so screwed up.

That`s not what the game is about - the audience voting for Shannon Noll and making him No. 1 three years later ? that`s the vote that counts.

Belmont Technical College was a dream conceived by those with great vision as an answer to meeting many of the needs of the resident of the Ohio Valley, ... John Shannon was chosen to lead the way in this endeavor. As the college`s first president, he represented the vision and perseverance that paved the way for the growth of the college.

Shannon`s spring has really set her up well for a great fall this season.

I`m sure coach Shannon is not happy with the outcome, but his kids hung in there.

The thing is, people say, `who`s he fighting? He`s fighting a nobody.` My thing is whoever I fight my style will make the fight look one-sided. I`m hopeful that McCline is going to come in and fight. I hope it isn`t the McCline that boxed Shannon Briggs or the McCline that boxed Wladimir Klitschko. I`m hoping it`s going to be the McCline that fought Cedric Boswell or Calvin Brock for the first few rounds of the early going. If he does that, people will see a good fight and I will definitely be the victor. Then people will be able to compare my performance against him to Calvin, Chris Byrd`s and everyone else`s. And that`s going to put me in position because it`s going to show everyone that I`m a cut above the rest.

Yes. And I believe there`s no comparison. We tried to get Brock for the last fight, we tried to get Brock for this fight and it`s plain to see that his people are not interested in fighting me. I don`t care what they say, they`d prefer to keep him away from people like me. Even though they`ve got no TV dates coming up, they`d prefer for him to fight a Kenny Craven or a David Bostice somewhere off TV. The bottom line is, they don`t want to take the risk with me. I`m a big risk to any of those guys above me and they don`t want to take that risk. Shannon Briggs? I don`t think I should even respond to anything Shannon Briggs had to say. I don`t have anything personal against the guy. He`s ranked in the WBC#13 and I`m ranked #14. All that stuff he was saying to Boxingtalk the other day, the bottom line is, he don`t want to fight. And that`s basically he what he admitted. He`d prefer to fight Vinny Maddalone over me. Jameel stepped up and now we`re going to focus on Jameel.

I think I was always Shannon before the cancer and after. But I think it makes me live life a lot different. I live each day as if it was my last because I was faced with a couple of times when I almost died. I don`t take stuff hard, and I don`t stress about the small stuff.
