This is a clip from the first hour of tonight's Sports Open Line.

Kevin Wheeler, Chris Rongey, and Amy Marxkors debunk the old adage that athletes back in the day were tougher just because they played through injury. Were they actually tougher, or are we just smarter with how we treat our athletes' bodies today?

Sports Open Line airs every week night from 6-8pm barring any Cardinals or Billikens games. Follow Kevin, Chris, and Amy on Twitter @KevinWheeler94 @ChrisRongey @AmyMarxkors
