It could be seen as protesting too much, but San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and his office have produced a slick but kind of awkward video in which various city departments confirm how "ready" they are to host the Super Bowl.The video below, which was posted Monday, follows Mayor Daniel Lurie's pl aybook of using social media to promote what a good job he's doing and what fine, rebounding shape the city of San Francisco is in.🏈 SAN FRANCISCO IS READY!City teams across public safety, transit, health, events neighborhoods are locked in for @NFL #SuperBowl LX.We’ve got you covered.

But is anyone from that camp even going to see this video?
