I am trying to customize the news module to fit a site, and for the life of me can't figure something out...

On the News home(news_index.html), on the bottom right of each article is a link to the comments section:

Comments(#of comments)

I have disabled comments for this module, so would like to remove this reference to them. How do I do this? I have looked in all the template files for the module, and can't find it anywhere. I assume it has to be in news_index.html, but it isn't, all the other stuff for the page are, but nothing about the comments, or any links to it. I just need to find a word, and delete it, is it really this hard? lol

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
