ESPN has an archive of Hunter's columns over the last five years available 
here:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/archive?columnist=hunter_s._thompson&root=page2

I found that some of the older columns (from 2000 and 2001) are only 
available through an ESPN Insider subscription -- including, 
unfortunately, his Sept 12 2001 column -- but the rest are currently 
available to non-subscribers.  They're offering a free 7-day trial 
subscription which is easily cancelled... I've already subscribed,
printed off the columns I was missing, and cancelled, all within a
couple of hours.

Personally I'm a bit saddened, but not terribly surprised.  I'm sure
he'd have continued to be a prolific writer, but then I'll probably
never get around to reading everything he wrote.

As the good Doctor wrote about someone else, he was "too weird to live,
too rare to die".  He will be missed.
