2 Truths and a Lie: NFL Edition

A command-line trivia game where you pick the lie hidden among two true facts about an NFL player. Enter any player's full name from the built-in roster, and the game uses the Groq LLM API (llama-3.3-70b-versatile) to generate two verifiable career facts and one plausible-but-false statement, shuffled in random order. You guess which one is the lie, get told if you're right, and can keep playing as long as you like.

Thanks for playing!

(Mahomes was actually the 10th pick — but the lie in a real round would be something fabricated. The LLM generates fresh statements each game.)
