    Sorry if this is owned by this site, but I keep getting emails trying to sell me Blazer packages from that domain name, but when I go to to check it out I get a no server error.
    But seriously, there is already trailblazer.com which forwards to nba.com/blazers which forwards to iamatrailblazersfan.com so I am trying to figure out if it is a phishing site, if it isn't, that is way too many domain names!
    If it is or isn't a phishing site I think it would be good for every one to know.

    Not a phishing site. I'll break it down.

    1) your.ripcity.com is the domain we use for our emails and email links through our email provider. It has to be something different than trailblazers.com since it is hosted with a third party

    2) trailblazers.com redirects to nba.com/blazers. This is the official site for the Trail Blazers. Even though we promote trailblazers.com, the NBA requires it to be under their umbrella.

    3) During games, when you type in trailblazers.com, it redirects to iamatrailblazersfan.com because that is where we house a lot of our content and can run our live chat/play-by-play application

    I agree that it can look confusing, but unfortunately, that's the way it has to be. I hope this helped.

    Dan.

    ha ha as I was trying to reply to this somehow I got signed out so I had to double check I'm on one of the official sites to log in again!

    The link to buy the package looked real legit so that's why I asked, phishers are getting real good at looking official so I thought I would ask to make sure. Better to be safe than phished for my credit card info! Thanks.

    Hey Kim, thx for the props.

    We will be launching an online channel, trailblazers.tv in the next couple of weeks. I think that's what you were referring to. We'll have more details as we approach launch, but when we go into an invite "beta" mode, I'd love to have some of you guys test it for us. 

    Dan.

    One more question, do the Blazers own the rights to the games?  Or does the nba ??

    Ultimately the NBA does, but the teams have the rights to the games in the local territories. If that makes sense.

    So basically it's the Blazers fault for signing the comcast deal.
    Next time I hope they look more seriously at companies that are being progressive in cutting edge technology, customer service, public relations and aren't into hoarding everything they do have. Comcast has none of those qualities except they are really good at hoarding for ridiculous prices.

    Thanks Dan, at least it is a step in the right direction for all the fans who don't have comcast. I'm down to test too :)
