Blog 9: Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix

     It seems this season of Formula 1 has changed the power dynamic of the teams. It is no longer a two team race for first place in the constructers cup with poor showings from Red Bull and Mercedes.The trend remained true in Australia and Ferrari found themselves on top of the podium.

    Max Verstappen, who won his first world championship last year, did not finish after he experienced a leak of burning fluids. Verstappen has been in contention in each race but cannot make it across the leaderboard. Red Bull's other driver, Sergio Perez, has been the steady rock for the team and continued the trend with a second place finish in Australia.

    The Mercedes team has won eight straight Constructers Championships, but that streak seems to be in real danger of ending. Their cars do not seem to be as fast as the other top teams and major changes are needed. Lewis Hamilton is struggling to even compete for the top three in the standings with the pace of the car.

    Ferrari has dominated this year and driver, Charles Leclerc, has looked to be the man to beat. Charles Leclerc was almost never seen again after the first lap because his car had such blistering pace. Ferrari has a combination of a fast car and experienced drivers, and they will be a problem to the rest of Formula 1.

Commanders Recap

  November 17th, 2022   Monday Night Football Recap: “The People’s Quarterback” Everybody remembers Taylor Heineke’s signature NFC Wildcard game against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. He made electrifying plays and stole the heart of every NFL fan for a week. It was a magical moment for an unknown hero that was sitting in class completing his degree only a week prior. Taylor’s remarkable performance gave Washington Commander’s fans an entertaining night, but still they did not see him as the guy.   Image via NBC Sports Fast forward to this season, Taylor has forced himself into this franchise's future. Let me set the stage! This past summer, Washington signed Taylor Heineke to a 1 year deal that did not pay much but offered a lot in incentives. The deal seemed to signal that Taylor would be a backup, if Washington could find a starting quarterback in free agency. Enter Carson Wentz, who the Commanders signed to be their starting QB. Washington was looking for a v

Blog 1

This is my first blog and to start off I will introduce myself. I am John Horning and I am a student at Mount St Mary's. I major in Communications and hope to use that to work in sports in some kind of capacity. I use to play lacrosse at the Mount but have struggled with anxiety and depression that made it difficult to continue to playing. I have a long connection to the Mount having had many family members attend here including both my parents. My interest outside of school includes fishing, lacrosse, and golf. During the summer, I spend the majority of my off time offshore fishing on my father's boat. Fishing is something that I am passionate about and it runs in my family. My cousin, Jimmy, starred on National Geographic's "Wicked Tuna Outer Banks," and my Dad is a successful captain who has won the White Marlin Open twice. The White Marlin Open is the largest billfish tournament in the world that takes place in Ocean City, Maryland.

Blog 12: Final Blog

  The reason we blogged in social media class, is because it immerses you into the life of a content creator. We learned about all aspects of social media and applied it into our blogs.  Creating and maintaining a blog has taught me how to manage my digital footprint. There are many cautionary tales of people being cancelled for past mistakes. By blogging, I have learned to watch what I say and learned to look back to my digital past to make sure nothing is there.  Although I enjoyed trying something new, I don't think blogging is for me. I have trouble finding my voice in a blog and find it unnatural
