Q

Connection?

Number nine, a bad golfer, Avatar, the last airbender, Brett Favre.

A

Four

“So there is a shot in golf called a flop shot. However, the correct answer for this one was in fact four. A bad golfer would yell four.

There are four elements that the Avatar the Last Airbender, earth, water, fire and air, and Brett Favre did wear number four.

Yes, but when Brett Favre sent those pictures, it flopped out, so I think that that should also come.”
