TSN doesn't have any popups, no ads, no nothing. The only exception to this, is if you have a Private Message (in which you can disable the popup that tells you that you have a private message in your Profile). Its possible that its a popup from some other rouge site, but I assure you that TSN is popup free.

it could be something to do with your computer... I've been getting some random popups coming up lately and I don't know how to get ride of them. but tsn, no, I know for sure that the only popups that I get from tsn is if I have a Private Messege. I like having a sudden anouncement when I get a PM.

If you hate pop ups, download the Google tool bar add-on. It has a built in pop up blocker that works REALLY well.

Yes, UPS is right - tsn has NO ads, NO popups, and NO spam mail. The reason I pay for the web space, is because Lycos would stick ads on our pages after I wrote a code to block popups and ads from them...(they realized they weren't making any money off of us
)
But you need to download Spybot - Search and Destroy, and also Adaware, and then see if that cures your popups. I also have Norton Internet Security and use the MSN Toolbar, and I never get popups...it even blocks the PM ones from here, which I had to make it allow.
