N. Procedure by which a sports information topic is examined and analyzed in such great detail and with such great care that the reader is left with a feeling of complete confidence and tranquility with their grasp of the subject. It's often been said that the prep for a Nolanoscopy is the worst part of the process - requiring much research and creative thinking. The subject often requires sedation in order to reach the level of granularity required. Some instances have left the subject with a slight, temporary limp afterward and/or lingering soreness. However, when performed with the greatest of care, the subject will be no worse for wear.
