Just out of curiosity, why would anyone insert a comma between a person's job title and their name - like in the news release from the Pats? Do we need a break in the string of words to have a rest? A moment to compose our thoughts? Or is the writer just not that competent?

ex: Regina Pats President, Brent Parker.

Would you write: Pats Coach, Curtis Hunt? Nope, just: Pats Coach Curtis Hunt...

Anyway, just one of those things that needed to be gotten off the chest. Sorry for the rant!
