NEW YORK Ex-football coach Jimmy Johnson has been making the rounds in New York this week to help promote the National Football League’s new “Extra Points” credit cards issued by MBNA.

The program allows football fans to “brand” either their Visa or MasterCard with their favorite NFL team. For every dollar charged to the card, the consumer accumulates NFL rewards points that make them eligible for gifts associated with that team. For instance, blocks of points can earn a fan a golf outing with a player or coach, memorabilia, tickets to NFL draft parties and sideline passes.
