How a classic Bob Dylan song inspired an iconic Steely Dan album (Far Out Magazine)

Bob Dylan has inspired almost everyone, and he had such a defining impact on Steely Dan that he inspired the name of what is arguably their finest album.

Hailed as the voice of a generation alongside The Beatles, Dylan helped to establish some of the most critical facets of modern songwriting, and without these consequential efforts, it wouldn’t just be music that looked and sounded very different, but the world too. Whether it be the protest music of his early folk era, his more hard rock-oriented material or even his later flirtation with experimental hues, there’s a lot much to explore in his extensive back catalogue, with something for everyone, reflecting just how dextrous of an artist he really is. His lengthy 2020 epic ‘Murder Most Foul’ is one of the best recent examples of this notion.

Former Kansas State commit, speedy RB Dylan Edwards joins Notre ... (NBC Sports)

Notre Dame has now added three 2023 commitments in the last three days, the latest two being players well-known for their speed.

A receiver and safety in high school, Minich has been clocked at less than 11 seconds in the 100-meter dash. When a lower-ranked recruit commits following such a camp evaluation, it usually speaks to what the coaching staff was looking for and, apparently, found on its own campus. At 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, most of Minich’s power comes from his legs, which allows for surer tackling than that weight usually would suggest. Scat backs — and at his size, Edwards certainly fits that description — are usually more shifty than fast, if not by much, but Edwards flips that. Edwards’ highlight reel begins with a kickoff return for a touchdown in which he races past the coverage team. Notre Dame’s focus is on preseason practices and the 2022 season, now only four weeks away, but the Irish have added two 2023 recruits on the first two days of practice, nonetheless.

Decision day: Kansas State, Notre Dame or Oregon for RB Dylan ... (On3.com)

It's decision day for Derby (Kan.) High running back Dylan Edwards, a top Notre Dame Fighting Irish football target.

Oregon has been fighting for Edwards and sent him an “official” scholarship offer on Monday. He picked up an offer from the Irish last Wednesday and was on campus the following two days. It factors in machine learning, expert predictions, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. Last Friday night is when he announced that he was stepping away from his Wildcats’ pledge. It’s decision day for Derby (Kan.) High running back Dylan Edwards, a top Notre Dame target. “At this moment I’d like to thank the whole Kansas State staff and fan base for this amazing opportunity to become a Wildcat,” Edwards said in his statement published through On3’s Hayes Fawcett. “After recent thoughts and talks with my family, I’d like to decommit and take a step back, and reopen my recruitment.

“Notre Dame, I feel like, hasn’t had the speed on their team that I have,” Edwards said. His intention to flip to Notre Dame seemed clear at the time. Edwards said he got on a plane the following day and made an official recruiting visit to South Bend.

He made it official on Saturday, saying that he picked Notre Dame over K-State and Oregon. “Through this week there have been a lot of trials and tribulations,” Edwards said.

Join the Irish Breakdown community! Notre Dame is recruiting Edwards to be an all-around player on offense, with a focus on being a slot receiver and return man. Edwards doesn't catch the ball much, but he has shown an ability to make all the grabs needed to attack teams in the screen game, quick game and intermediate game. He can be crafty as a runner when he needs to, and his ability to find the second level cuts from the backfield is impressive. That's the kind of explosive speed he brings to the table. Notre Dame came into this cycle looking to add speed and dynamic playmakers on offense, and Edwards certainly brings that.

With Dylan Disu finally healthy, Texas believes the 'sky's the limit' (Houston Chronicle)

AUSTIN — Teammates took to calling the gangly freshman from Pflugerville “Bambi” not long after he arrived on Vanderbilt's campus in 2019.

Just his energy and who he is as a person off the floor impacts the team on the floor. And more than any other game last season, that 10-point loss to the Boilermakers illustrated how much Texas needs size on the court. “I think this year will be a lot better.” There was indeed some newborn fawn to Disu back then, but he shed the unwanted label quickly and morphed into the Commodores’ best big man as a sophomore prior to a season-ending knee injury. In limited minutes it’s just very tough to get to that point.” “Without the offseason and being able to have that with my teammates, and all those practices and games that I missed, it was tough to get to that point,” Disu said Wednesday following practice at the new Moody Center. “We're about to start Big 12 play and I haven't gelled with them yet, so it was very tough.

Just over a week after dropping his commitment to Kansas State, Derby High School running back Dylan Edwards announced that he is going to Notre Dame.

"So he went to Notre Dame and we were just talking all through that time and he said it was time for me to come visit and again they extended me an offer and I came there the next day and here we are now." "Notre Dame, I feel like haven't had the speed on their team that I have," he said. It all happened quickly for the speedy 5-foot-9, 165-pound Edwards, an all-purpose back and one of the top-rated prospects in Kansas for the 2023 recruiting cycle. Kelly then left for LSU in December and defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman was promoted to head coach. But Notre Dame was clearly No. 1 in his heart dating back for over a year. "Through this week there's been a lot of trials and tribulations," Edwards said.

Dylan Cease is on track to be a Cy Young Award candidate (Southside Showdown)

Chicago White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease has put up numbers this season that make him a favorite to take home the AL Cy Young Award.

It will be tough because Verlander and McClanahan are pitching exceptionally well, yet if one or both of them stumble, Cease could be the guy taking home the award. One area that hurts Cease’s case is the amount of walks he has allowed. What Cease has also done is put up some historic numbers that attached his name to pitching royalty. - Cease joined Jacob deGrom, Martinez, and Tiant as the only pitchers to have 150+ strikeouts and 25 or fewer earned runs in first 20 starts. - Cease’s 150+ strikeouts and sub-2.15 ERA in the first half by pitchers in the first five years of their careers joins the likes of Dwight Gooden, Vida Blue, Luis Tiant, and Walter Johnson. - through his first 19 starts of the season, Cease is the only pitcher in MLB history to post 150+ strikeouts, 80 or fewer hits, and 25 or fewer runs.

White Sox: Dylan Cease deserves more AL Cy Young love (FanSided)

The favorites to win the AL Cy Young are obvious but Dylan Cease has been so dominant the White Sox ace can only be overlooked for so long.

He’s among the Top 3 Cy Young favorites, but deserves to be more firmly in that conversation given how dominant he’s been. But the performance that Cease has delivered for the White Sox is equally as undeniable. Consensus odds have Verlander as a -125 favorite with McClanahan sitting at +250 to take home the honor.

Friday marked the 13th straight start in which Dylan Cease allowed one or no earned runs for the Chicago White Sox. A look at the historic stretch.

This is a testament to his ability to mitigate the danger.” Jiménez and Cease were acquired from the Cubs as part of a 2017 trade for José Quintana. “I’m just trying to do the same thing every start, really,” Cease said Tuesday. “The biggest emphasis and focus for me is what I have to focus on to actually execute. That was the most important thing: that I felt 100%.” Cease is 8-2 during the stretch. That is not fun for me,” Sox closer Liam Hendriks joked Friday after earning the save, the 100th of his career. Cease has a 0.59 ERA and a .174 opponents average during the remarkable 13-start streak. Cease is 12-4 with a 1.98 ERA and 166 strikeouts in 22 starts this season. Cease has allowed five earned runs in 76 innings during his stretch that started May 29. “Truthfully I don’t really think about it that much,” Cease said of the stretch after Friday’s game. The Chicago White Sox right-hander followed up a fantastic June with a July that was just as impressive. “Feels good and he’ll come to work tomorrow and prepare for his next start.

Cease has not allowed more than one earned run in a start since May 24, when the Red Sox blasted him for seven runs in three innings of work. Following a six-inning stint against the Rangers in which he allowed just one earned run, Cease broke a tie with Mets ace Jacob deGrom for the longest streak of starts allowing one or fewer earned runs since earned runs became official in 1913, according to ESPN Stats & Info. The Chicago right-hander extended his stretch to 13 consecutive starts with Friday’s performance, while deGrom only reached 12 such outings during the 2021 campaign. White Sox starter Dylan Cease has been among the best pitchers in all of Major League Baseball this season, but what he’s accomplished in his last 13 outings hasn’t been seen in over a century.

Playing Dylan: Deeper Dive On Capitals New Center Dylan Strome (NoVa Caps)

How he does in the first two months of the season will be key. How will Strome settle in centering the second line? The team has several options to center the second line, but look for Dylan Strome to get the start. We could even see Strome centering the third line during the season. The term of one year is a good fit for both sides, as Strome will set his value for next summer on his performance this season. He has never really had to deal with any kind of heavy pressure in Chicago. How will he deal with an intermittent slump or downturn in play, as happens with all players? Strome will feel the pressure centering the second line, initially filling in for the injured Nicklas Backstrom. There is no way to avoid it. Strome set a career-high in goals (22) and came three points shy of his career-high (48) in 69 games last season. While the Capitals’ power-play improved down the stretch last season, it still finished 23rd in the NHL with a 18.8% efficiency. Strome was the third overall pick in 2015, which featured a deep draft class. Strome would help them take a step in the right direction as he is only 25. And as it turns out, the Capitals were ready to pounce.
