Do you love me? Then say it.

The centerpiece on Page One of the Belleville News-Democrat on Sunday was about FBI tapes of telephone conversations between former St. Louis Blues player Mike Danton and his agent, David Frost. Danton pleaded guilty to conspiring to kill Frost, but they continued conversations even after Danton's arrest.

Here's the link to the News-Democrat story, and you can hear the conversation, which was part of a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation program. It is posted at the CBC's Web site.

One of the bizarre moments of the conversation came shortly after Danton's arrest in San Jose, Calif.:

Frost: Do you love me?
Danton: Yes.
Frost: Then say it.
Danton: I love you.

This is truly one of the most bizarre moments in NHL history, and it will become a part of News-Democrat copy desk humor for a good long time.

So, do you love me?

No, you don't have to say it.
