michael funk. i had the pleasure and honor of working with mr. funk about 11 years ago when we were working on re-authorizing the children's fund and i got to know your work and the work of your colleagues in the sunset district and neighborhoods have so many children, it's essential that we have organizations like yours and yours has been able to thrive and grow and provide really great service and i think it's it says a lot about your character and want to make sure we have a city that really supports young people agreing up and having positive youth development experiences. so i know you're going on to great things. and i look forward to seeing what comes out of your work at the state level. i also want to acknowledge while you're working on supporting these programs in the sunset district, i know you're a father of kids and your kids live far away and you have been a determined dad to make sure you can give to your family as well and i think it's also a big part of who you are that i want to acknowledge you today as well. thank you very much

today i have the great honor to be able to recognize the work of michael funk. i think many of you may know him through his work with youth in our city but in particular for me he's been a real jewel and someone who has made a big impact on sunset district kids. he is the person who founded and is the executive director of the sunset neighborhood beacon center. for 15 years. he's going to be leaving the beacon center and starting a new chapter as a director of the after school division at the california department of education. but just before we talk about that, i know he's going to continue to do great work up there. i just want to talk about how important his impact has been in our neighborhood. not only has he founded that organization that provides services but i just wanted to give you a sense of how many lives he touches. there are about 1,500 youth that are

that's why there's a chance, that same funk we saw three weeks ago will descend on giants stadium >> i think the falcons are going to win. >> if they rely on michael tebow, does he have a heck of a shot of at least praying one time before the end of the game? >> i mean, you lose 24-9 or you lose -- >> pray for help. >> you know, i don't know, to me, you know, tim tebow, john elway this week, the club president, basically sent out a plea to tim tebow. hey, take some chances. make those throws. the problem is those throws he's seen for eight or ten weeks and he hasn't made them. doesn't have the confidence to make them. he's a 41% passer the last three weeks. >> scored three points in what was a must win essentially against the chiefs. quickly through our picks. giants and falcons, said it it already. i like the giants. mike's going with the falcons. >> the falcons. >> i love it. >> peter is staying with the giants. joe, we know where you stand on that one. falcons all the way. >> bengals and texans. texans playing with a backup quarterback, lost three in a row so i'm going with cincinnati. mike? >> houston in that one. >> really? >> i've got housto
