With help from a reader, we've gotten our eyeballs on the LM-2 report filed by the NFLPA for the 12-month reporting period ending on February 28, 2007.

Here are some highlights.

First, NFLPA executive director Gene Upshaw was paid a salary of $4.264 million. Assistant executive director Doug Allen got more than $1.9 million in salary, and general counsel Richard Berthelsen was paid more than $598,000.

In all, 26 employees of the union made at least $100,000 in salary.

We've got no problem with folks being paid handsomely, but at a time when the NFLPA continues to stand idly by while teams make a mockery of things like the offseason workout rules and the federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988, we've got to ask whether the players are getting a good return on their investment.
