It's been 20 years since Cameron Crowe's football-themed romantic comedy Jerry Maguire hit theaters, permanently entering the catchphrase "Show me the money" into the lexicon and garnering an Oscar for Cuba Gooding Jr. To promote a newly-released 20th anniversary Blu-Ray edition of the movie, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and the NFL teamed up to release two parody mockumentaries about the fictional football careers of Gooding Jr.'s character, star wide receiver Rod Tidwell, and Frank Cushman, the cocky young quarterback played by Jerry O'Connell.

The videos, "Rod Tidwell: A Football Life" and "Frank Cushman: A Football Life," feature appearances from the movie's stars, including O'Connell as Cushman; Beau Bridges, who played his father, Matt; Jay Mohr as agent Bob Sugar; a grown-up Jonathan Lipnicki as Jerry's stepson, Ray; and Aries Spears, who played Tidwell's brother, Tee Pee.
