Fewer and fewer media sites keep older articles archived and available for a substantial period of time. It's not feasible timewise for us to find and weed out those links which no longer work, so we simply transfer here all article links for the past 6-8 weeks or so. Maybe they work, maybe they don't—most still will, probably. Give 'em a try.
(Ironically, of the Bay Area papers, the one which preserves archives for the least amount of time generally is the Raiders' own home town paper, the Oakland Tribune, guaranteeing only 14 days. AP material carried by other sites is also required to be removed after 14 days.)
licking on a link below opens a new window (or tab, depending on the browser) for that site. Just close it when you're done. ¤¤
