Transcription is both an art and a craft. It’s almost a translation from one language to another—that is, (usually) unscripted spoken words to written text. This has become an important point to make within the Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase over the past day or two, following a quote that was published attributed to WR Diontae Johnson in support of QB Mason Rudolph.

The debate becomes what he actually said versus what he is perceived to have said, and unfortunately, the answer isn’t as definitive as I would like it to be. The audio for what Johnson said originates from Nick Farabaugh, who shared it via Twitter.
