Actually I am an English Teacher and I can assure you that The comma placement here is fine.

Comma Rules of usage as stated in "Writers Inc. 'A Student Handbook for Writing and Learning'", Houghton Mifflin Company, Wilmington, Massachhusetts, pg. 461

"You may use a comma for clarity or for EMPHASIS. There WILL be times when none of the traditional rules call for a comma, but one will be needed to prevent confusion or to emphasize an important Idea.”

As purposed by the author, for example:

He isn't looking forward to this game, (I assure you.)—emphasized by the comma as the writers declaration.

I give the poster a thumbs up for exceptional use of punctuation to express his point.

Sorry Saints Fan, But its true, You, made an error. I hope Zooey wasn't watching.

We weren't jumping on Saintsgup. Do you read threads or do you just react to the first thing you see? Forget it. I already know the answer.

I do, but at this red-hot moment my concern is for the fate of our youth. They're going to have health care but they won't be able to write worth a damn. LOL

And you're a coach too. Is that correct? Here's an educated guess. You majored in PE and you teach English out of a book because that's what the school makes you do. I'll bet Strato's favorite guitar you didn't major in English.

Got any papers from when you were in college? Oh how I'd LOVE to read some of your essays.

Actually, I majored in English education at The University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I graduated in 07 with a 3.0 gpa. Furthermore, if you think you can digest the writing from my undergraduate studies I will gladly send you some, unless you want it posted in a thread for ALL to see. I teach English and Coach Football because those are two areas that provide tools for teaching young men to face and overcome adversity.
