Anyone ever exposed to this game? Basically it is Fantasy Football. It started out as a board game, evolved to a video game, and is now being release on the next gen consoles!

I never got to play the board or '95 video game, but did however have a blast for many hours on Mutant League Football (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_league_football) for the Genesis.
Should the 2009 game be anything like Mutant League, I'm sure it will be a winner. Check out the links, and let me know if you have had any experience with the previous iterations of the game. Sounds like it will be real time based and/or turn based... not sure how that works, but then again if it is based off a board game, it must work somehow.

If you watch the Teaser (http://www.bloodbowl-game.com/teaser/) (wow I'm taking a play out of DD's post book), you can see that it even has cheerleaders and bands!
I also read that the game developer gained the rights to create the game from an undisclosed settlement over a similarities lawsuit between the developers game Chaos League (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_League) and the Blood Bowl franchise by Games Workshop. Very interesting way this new video game came about.

Nope, you're not -- you replied to your own post instead of just modifying and adding to the original ;)
