The David Lopez Show

Last weekend, we had our first live concert in over a year and a half and the love was truly felt, so I spent the beginning of today's show reflecting on that.

Moving onto sports, the Bears have officially started the clock on the Justin Fields era, as he gets the starting nod for this weekend's matchup against the Browns. 

Week 2 was not a successful gambling week for me, so I had to share some of my close defeats.
