Shell fined $12,500 for criticizing officials

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) Oakland Raiders coach Art Shell was fined $12,500 for criticizing the officials following last weekend's 17-13 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Shell said Monday the Raiders got ``screwed'' when the officials called a personal foul on Chris Carr for running out of bounds on a punt late in the third quarter.

``After I said it, I knew it,'' Shell said Thursday. ``It dawned on me what was happening. But hey, I'll take it. Because I felt strongly about what I said, and I have not changed in that.''

The call turned the momentum in the game, negating a fumbled punt return by Denver's David Kircus that would have given Oakland the ball on the Broncos 20 with a 13-7 lead. Denver ended up scoring the go-ahead touchdown on the drive.
