The Geaux Team
If you're like me, when you were watching the basketball games last week, you noticed LSU coach John Brady's wife. They showed her several times in the audience and I'm sure I wasn't the only one surprised to see that this man (look over there -->) has such a cute wife.
It was only later that I found out her maiden name, Misty Champagne.
Yes, Misty Champagne. Hmmm, where do you think he made her acquaintance? Think maybe he was at a coaches' convention with Mike Price?
Assuming that's her actual given name, who the hell names their child Misty Champagne? Remember what Chris Rock said about raising girls? Your number one priority is to keep them off the pole. When you go with Misty Champagne as a name, you've pretty much limited her career options. Ever meet a lawyer named Misty? How many members of Phi Beta Kappa are named Misty?

Oh, and you won't be surprised that she makes her living with her body (more or less). She's a personal trainer and occasional model.
Can you imagine telling your mom about her for the first time? "Hey mom, I met this great girl. I think she's the one!"
"Oh really, dear? That's wonderful. What's her name?"
"Misty!"
"Oh"
"Misty Champagne!"
... dead silence ...
Geaux Tigers!
Can't begrudge the man though. When you can explain how Jimmy B. got his wife, I'll understand Brady's situation.

I think that you have to keep in mind that these people have families and the families are affected by the crap that you write about the people that they love. Who are you to write things that you have no idea about?? Where do you get off?? Have YOU ever seen her in a strip club..working..and using her real name?!! I think not. If you really knew anything about her, you would know better. |
Of course I don't know her. I do know that I've read that her name is Misty Champagne in many different newspapers and this website (a company she apparently works for) - http://www.mackieshilstone.com/pep/prog_umpire.html.
Maybe they are all wrong or lying. So is Misty Champagne just her professional name? Is that any better?

Ah.

| u are right tiger........its shom pon not the bubbly.........and where is the proof of her being a stripper????????? she's a personal trainer for a reputable company........ |
Well, "shom pon" is more or less the French pronunciation of the word champagne. Regardless, it's still a funny name whether she was a stripper or not. Somewhere out there there has to be a stripper or porn star named Misty Champagne. Or there should be.
By the way, my kid sister's name is Candy, Dave, but at least our last name was not Sprinkles or Samples....
