If you're seeing pop-up ads while visiting Footballguys, I'm sorry to have to let you know that you almost certainly have some sort of malware running on your computer. Believe me, we hate pop-ups as much as you do and we would never inflict them on our Insiders. We have very limited space on our pages devoted to ads and we won't ever run any ad campaigns that cause popups or popunders or that make noise or play video unprompted.
But once the malware is installed on your computer -- usually either as a drive-by download that was installed without any warning and without your consent, or as adware that was bundled and silently installed along with a legitimate piece of software or browser extension -- it has the ability to monitor your web traffic and launch popup ads on your computer.
Try visiting our site from a different computer, a tablet, or a mobile device and you'll see the difference.
The best tool you can use to get rid of malware is Malwarebytes. You can download it for free here:

You may also want to check to see if your antivirus is up to date because most AV suites that are current on licensing and on their virus patterns will prevent the installation of the vast majority of malware.
And your choice of browser can make you more or less susceptible to malware. Generally, Firefox and Chrome are less prone to allow malware infections than either IE or Safari.
