I think I remember correctly that Aviva Gottlieb Zornberg discusses this story in her commentary "Genesis: the beginnings of desire".

One interpretation that I have read is that the Nephillim were of satan and his fallen angels. It was just another plan of satan to spoil the bloodline to prevent the coming of the Messiah ( Jesus the Christ) that needed to be pure. Noah was one family with a bloodline that did not intermarry or mix their bloodline with the Nephellim. I dont' have the scripture offhand but if you notice it is mentioned in the Bible not only was Noah and his family saved from the flood because of their righteousness but also because of their geneology. That is specifically stated in scripture.
