Should not lose site

FOUND ONLINE: Pouncey when healthy is very good and fans should not lose site of the fact that although he played all season last year, he is one practice and one game away from aggravating his hip and going on IR.

This story is full of minor (and aggravating) errors. I'd change the beginning of this sentence this way:

When healthy, Pouncey is very good (or excellent), and fans should not lose sight of the fact...

ALSO FOUND ONLINE: Whom ever losses out on Edmunds – will get Smith (Bears or Oakland).

No, no, no, no. It's whoever. Also, it's loses, not losses. And you don't need that hyphen.
