The ad reads:



"From one local to another, Congratulations Nick Foles. Just Keep Livin, Matthew McConaughey."

"The big thing is don't be afraid to fail," Foles said. "I think when you look at a struggle in your life, just know that that's just an opportunity for your character to grow. That's really just been the message. Simple. If there's something going on in your life and you're struggling, embrace it, cause you're growing."
