pig in a poke is the last play of the george clooney movie.. he snuck into the other team for the last play of the final game... hes the pig in the poke.

Close, if you recall, that was the Sergeant York. The "pig" is the football; it's also called a "pigskin". A "poke" is a bag. When you are buying a "pig in a poke" you're buying something unseen, "hidden". Before the rules of football were developed, players would hide the ball under their shirt, well at least try to do it unseen by the opponent. The "pig in a poke" play was hiding the pigskin under your shirt and running in a direction opposite where the play action was directed.

There is no actual "pig in a poke" football play. The sandlot strategy of hiding the football under the jersey (pig in a poke) is sometimes employed in pickup games.
